AURELITO & SHAKESPEARE, creators + operators of the Los Angeles based sound system have been contributing to the City Of Angels' arts and music culture ever since they joined forces as the dynamic duo, internationally known as I&I SOUND SYSTEM. Aurelito, originally from the Philippine Islands and Black Shakespeare a Jamaican born native brought I&I SOUND to life in the late 90's, helping to add more life and unity to the people of Los Angeles. Their true mission from above was to spread LOVE by bringing music directly to the people. Much of the duo's thirst for unique and creative outlets plus the Universal Laws guided I&I to create their concept of building an original mobile sound system. The two restored and hand painted a 1969 classic ice cream truck and customized it with original artwork, turntables, mixer, amps and speakers... "knowing that music is an occupation that should literally move you". Their classic vehicle was crowned DESTINY. Since the birth of Destiny, the duo have been spreading positive vibrations far and wide... driving throughout Los Angeles County to the many different barrios, ghettos, communities, towns, valleys and cities in The City of Angels. The two have been traveling across the West Coast serving sweet musical treats from their patented mobile sound station... setting up and broadcasting at the many different outdoor festivals, art openings, concerts, film screenings, record release and after parties, grade schools, highschools, colleges, community based events, film shoots, private parties, barbecues, parking lots, street corners, and public parks...
