Alex Escobar

Past: Alex E$cobar was born febuary 3rd 1984 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Growing up in a lower middle class Colombian family, he started having some interest for hiphop .At the age of 15 he started mixing music at parties, at his high School in Laval and breakdancing for the fun of it. But Escobar's love for the music was so strong that he decided to start carving his lyrical arsenal and take to another level. Tired of life's routine and upsets, Alex E$cobar condezed all his knowleged to be a one man band producing his own beats: digging crates,Scratching vynils, stabbing the pads of his akai MPC2000Xl and ripping the chords of his guitars. His lyrics describe a more complete artist as he mixes rhymes in English, French and Spanish. Today(2009) Now 25 years old, Escobar is the founding member of the band called the Effigy. (www.myspace.com/theeffigysound.) The group is starting to have more and more exposure in the city by gaining Radio Play and gigs. Effigy injects in Escobar the desire to create club oriented records, a side of production that has always thrilled him. He his working hard to finish 5 albums :The Effigy's album, Street Gladiator (English Album), Gladiateur de la Rue(French Album), Hasta La Victoria Siempre (Spanish Album), and His mixtape A.M.B.I.T.I.O.N.
