Born and raised in California, San Diego is the only home I’ve ever known.  I’ve been on the sand and in the sun since before I can remember.  I grew up listening to every kind of music, including Sublime, Nirvana, Metallica and others.

I first learned about rap music listening to West Coast rappers, including Too Short, Snoop Dogg, and my biggest influence, Tupac.  I love all music, but hip-hop pulled me in with the first album from Cannibus.  I became hooked on writing and found out that I had a lot of built-up feelings that needed to be released.  At a party one night, I discovered my ability to freestyle, and now I want to put my name and my label’s name on the map.  I want to rap for my city and state and let people know about the Lord.  I want people to feel my music.

Look for Big Lumber’s CD entitled War of Words to be released in 2003.
