CLePTo was a nickname given to me when I was younger, and it was simple and easy to remember.

I play live with my band Quality (www.QuaLiTySTyLeE.cjb.net)

I started up rapping seriously about a year ago when I got introduced to local artists and hip-hop bands. My love for the music grew rapidly. I would bring an extra notebook to my classes strictly for rhymes. When 2003 came around, I teamed up with Dan The Mizzan (D.Spataro) to form a group focused on clean, new style, with diss tracks aimed at Black Parrot Records (punk bi***es who try to rap and diss real talent). With that coming to a halt with being unhappy with the way things were going, I had joined an alternative hip hop band in Fall 2003 called QuaLiTy (www.qualitystylee.cjb.net), who is currently preparing for a demo due out Early March 2004. I decided to do some solo rap again on the side, and that brings us to now. Check out the news at the top of the page for updates.
