“Lyriseez”

Natural Circumstances:

Born on the day of December 6th 1976 in L.A Calif to the parents of Arthur & Arvella Hall. Life was real good then and now. I had a good youthful life. I was raised in the church and around music all my life. My dad used to sing in a quartet back in the 30’s & 40’s and my mom used to sing in a all girl band and not only that she played the piano. So as you can see musical talent runs in the family it’s in the bones. I started playing the drums first, then I used to sing in the church choir. At the age of fourteen that’s where I started my writing skills, that skill I picked up from my father, writing rhymes, poems, and then making my own beats. In the year of 1993 my family and I moved up to Portland Oregon, and that’s where alot of doors opened up for me.

Years passed on and I was able to have my own radio show at kboo 90.7fm and there I catered to mainly the local artists to where they could be heard over the radio.
