One of the original members of LS since 2004, started rapping in 1992 as a solo artist. I released my first cd in 2000 a 4 track Ep which got reviewed at Hip-Hop Connection Magazine, the reviewer called the cd outstanding with the track "Go to hell" as the lead single. In 2001 I released my first album called YOURS SINCERELY a ten track LP under my label ELMMO RECORDS, the lead single “Listen Close" got some airplay in Solano's 101.3 fm (Philippines). It was a great start hearing my song on the radio in my hometown of Solano, this was a template of good things to come. So it was back to the lab in 2002, a 2nd album was in the works for a 2003 release. So, back in August 2003 while my 2nd album STILL SINCERE was recorded I released the first track SOLANO an ode to my hometown, the song was an instant hit at Solano's 101.3 fm getting major airplay and frequently requested by it's listeners. It was on the play list for 4 months so hard work pays off I guess. On the same year (December 2003) I released my 2nd full LP (Yours Sincerely), I promoted it in
the Philippines in Nueva Vizcaya by organising Vizcaya Rap Contest pt. 1 with Jolibee (Solano) and 101.3fm, the album was a success despite being only printed on a low run the album sold out at Anita’s Department Store on it's second day of release.
2005 was a deja vu year, my 3rd Lp Yours Sincerely pt 3 (YS3) was released in the Vizcaya Region once again I organised a music competition Vizcaya Rap Contest Pt. 2. Notable tracks on the LP were Barbeque Chicken and the jazzy tinged Miccah. As LS grew bigger in 2006 we continued making moves by guesting at Baryo Fiesta, parties and community events. What would follow on the next year though would be something spectacular, 2007 was a major boost for LS, I co-organised the 1st ever Filipino Hip-Hop Concert in the UK with Mr Julius Billones as sponsor, the concert was followed by a Hip-Hop Tour called GRAB THE MIC (2008). I was meant to be a 6 month tour but it lasted for a year and a half!! whew, the tour was held in Hounslow (twice), Bristol, Blackpool (twice), Shepherds Bush (Bar Fm, twice) and Bromley.
At present I have just finished shooting my first Music Video called Itaas ang Kamay do check it out at www.youtube.com/ilokanongingles. For mp3's, free audio music and updates you can visit me at www.soundclick.com/tmax.
