David Vara, aka Bishop, is not your typical Mexican rapper, in fact, he's not even your typical human. This blessed individual is probably one of the most soulful artists ever heard of. Although he is of Latin descent, he strives his hardest to break the stereotype of Mexican/Chicano rap. His soulful lyrics and variable voice can capture even the most stubborn of listeners. The good thing about his style is that...even if you don't know this man, each verse he does will make you feel like you've known him your whole life and he's venting to you. He's not afraid to delve into categories and subjects that the average rapper would feel too proud to tackle. With the spirit of the greats of old and the talent of the new school, this Southern Californian native can hold it down with the best of them. A legend in his own day, this man will most likely be the next Latin rapper to make it big and represent a very proud people, and represent them well. A father, a friend, and an excellent businessman, Bishop will surely capture your ears and imagination with ingenuity, humor, and a style that is truely RENAISONIC.
Why this name?
Bishop means leader, and I have always felt myself to be in the leadership position.
Do you play live?
Yes. Various places. Yes. There this was concert that I did in Skid Row in Los Angeles. There was a lot of people there that had nothing, but no matter, they were joined together by one common love-music.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps unsigned artists like myself get their music out there for others to listen to. Not just myself, but others can get their music heard nationwide.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, that's the goal. My contact info is on my site.
Band History:
Starting doing music at 13, and mastered my skill. Along the way I came across some interesting characters, but I found that I'm my best when I'm with my current crew-UPROAR!!!!! which consists of D'zyl, Dj Sir Nose, D'lemm-Uh, and Teflon Vest. We definitely have a unique sound together that demands your attention when heard. All in all no one's hotter.
Your influences?
Bone, EWF, Prince, Dj Quik, all types of good music because good music is universal.
