Band Members: ABCDE (ab-si-di), born Pedro Galea'i Iuli was delivered in the Harbor City Hospital out in Los Angeles, California on August 6, 1986 and lived in Carson, CA in a family of 6. ABCDE was always an out-going active sport and enjoyed hip hop and dancing. Growing up with his eyes glued to hip hop music videos built a strong passion for MUSIC. ABCDE attended Bonita Elementary School out in Los Angeles, and moved out to Las Vegas in the year of 93, and started a brand new life in the 'City That Never Sleeps'. As ABCDE stepped into his high school years is when his addiction for MC'ing and SPITTIN' came into play. He began writing lyrics since the age of 10 years old, but took it ultimately serious at the age 14. ABCDE wrote sheets of lyrics daily trying his best to master his craft. He started participating in small cyphers during lunch to battling anyone that is willing to challenge. The first big freestyle battle tournament he entered was BBOY BASICS which was held at Johnson Junior High School, in which he conquered and took the victory. ABCDE has entered many small battles at bars, lounges, parties, and even on the streets, and have won a ton of them, but he has also had a few losses which were very disappointing downfalls for him. He is a very dedicated, hard-working artist that is willing to do anything, and go the extra mile to perfect his work and take it to the top ONE DAY. ABCDE has been the reigning-CHAMPION for the 107.5 EXTREME THING Freestyle Battle for two consecutive back-to-back years, 2004 & 2005. They discontinued the battle after '05 due to a Hip Hop Crisis situation with the Cops (Bill Young in particular, dickhead.) So therefore, ABCDE continued his journey participating in MC Battles at different venues, here and there. Later on in the year of 05 ABCDE had his first single, ''JUMP JUMP'' produced by Keystone aired on radio, 9.85 KLUC which was a very huge moment for himself, and the gang! ABCDE was given his first show at a HIP HOP VENUE (Sunday Skoolin') at the age of 17 due to his credibility and earned-stripes through out the Vegas Hip Hop Scene. ABCDE began to perform very often, and get shows twice a month. Later on, as the summer of 2007 comes around ABCDE builds and constructs First Five Studios right inside his garage, which includes a soundproof booth, mixer, M-Audio 69 Key, MPC 500 Beat Machine, Pro Tools 7 LE, KRK Rokits, Logics Platinum, FL 7, Reason, and many other outrageous gadgets which took heart, dedication, and time to make possible. Soon as the studio was up and running, ABCDE started recording outrageously at an enormous pace! 2 Months later, ABCDE & Italiano dropped a collabo album, ''THE ABCIANO PROJECT'' which was 10 tracks, produced by First 5ive, with additional production and help from ESKO of Weskoast Productions. The ABCIANO Project release party was held at The Box Office, where the two gave the fans a killer SHOW! Shortly after The ABCIANO Project was released, B.O.B. of 98.5 KLUC aired the first single off the album, ''Whats Your Name'' which got great responses from the fans! 1 Month later, August 12 ABCDE drops his 26 track mixtape, ''MURDER HE WROTE'' produced & mixed by First 5ive with additional production by ESKO, VI, Keystone, and Dino De Maria along with many exclusive features!!! The Murder He Wrote album release party was held at Triq Nightclub which is in the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino. 2 Months later, ABCDE teamed up with Language X and formed the group, BEST BUY and dropped another collabo project, ''ABCDE & LANGUAGE X are the BEST BUY'' which was a 15 track LP! This album was without a doubt a crazy project! The heavy production was brought by First 5ive, Sapient of SandPeople, VI, Weskoast Productions, & Kai. In the month of November, Italiano dropped his solo LP, ''FORGEDDABOUDIT'' which was executively-produced & mixed by ABCDE himself. This release party was also held at Triq Nightclub, which was a great success! Now, as we step into the year of 2008, ABCDE is off to an immediate START! Back in the lab, working on several different projects at the same time, recording new material, recording others, and producing other artists' albums which will be released soon. Recently, ABCDE & Language X performed at Poetry Nightclub inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino opening up for GrandMaster Flash. This was a very HUGE venue because it was sponsored by the biggest HIP HOP radio stations in Vegas 97.5 KVEG & 98.5 KLUC and hosted by the one and only B.O.B. The show was such a huge success and a marvelous OUTCOME! Now.. nothing can stop the veteran! ABCDE only strives and reaches for the best! He will continue to stay dedicated and put his heart and soul into his music until the day comes.. when it all pays off. To all of the fans and supporters, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and PLEASE continue to support ABCDE, as he will never forget those who made him someone because of their strong-BELIEF in his dream. Much Love & Respect. Enjoy the music =)The First 5ive, ABCDE.
