Born in San Antonio, Texas on November 12, 1980. SoS.A., (he took the name because he is so San Antone), started rapping at the age of fourteen. SoS.A. fell in love with Hip Hop in general and the attention it brought him in particular. He knew that he had something to offer so he continued to refine his craft and polish himself as an artist. SoS.A.s' first experience in an actual recording studio came at the tender age of 17. It was obvious to every-one in attendance that he was a natural. It did not take much time after that for him to realize, that this is what he was born to do. Influenced by the pioneers of rap such as L.L. Cool J, Ice Cube, Scarface and later Jay-Z and T.I. he studied what the rap game had to offer and what it was lacking, he knew that he could make his mark as an artist and entertainer. By the summer of 2000, SoS.A. was beginning to create a buzz for himself in his hometown and surrounding areas. He has performed in every venue imaginable, from "hole in the wall" joints, to well known clubs. His personality, as well as his love for the music always shines through in his performances. He has shared the stage with local rap acts in and around the San Antonio area and he has also opened for CooCoo Cal and Lil' Flip. Determined to land a record deal he started working on his own mix-tapes with help from an Independent record label, Maldo Entertainment. His albums are selling every-where from the back of the trunk, to local Flea Markets, to regional Mom and Pop stores. He has gone on to release a compilation, a solo album entitled Answer to the Question and over six mix-tapes. Most recently SoS.A. released the critically acclaimed One Hit Away to add to his resume, and is now working on the self-titled mixtape So San Antone(Voice of the City). With a style like no other, he can truly capture the ears and turn the heads of every-one. He refuses to label himself on a local, regional or even national level. SoS.A. has his eyes set on global domination, and yet he represents San Antonio to the fullest and is most responsible for creating the local sound that many are drawn to. Even with only a small urban Hip Hop scene in San Antonio, SoS.A. has collaborated on more than thirteen local releases. Even with his busy work schedule and family life he makes time for his music and continues to strive toward his dream of one day landing that elusive record deal.
