Dyus stands for "juice" in Tagalog, native Filippino language. Got the name from fellow peers who felt I pumped up the crowd because I "got the juice". It has stuck with me ever since.

It makes it easily accessible to those who might not have had a chance to get it otherwise.

Yes, if that is in the future....

First introduced to the jazz and hip-hop genres in the early-mid 90's. Music at this time was a source of comfort and escape especially at a critical time after a family member's death. Being an only child, I had time to reflect and gather my thoughts. I was angry and yet calm at the same time. From that time on, I started writing rhymes on various topics that were always introduced into my life. I could not have imagined what I had written back then was mature beyond my years.

Now older, I went to public hang outs and started show casing my skills. Entered a few local competitions in the area and finally unleashed my feelings from the past and incorporated it into the rap battles. After some time, I knew there was more to rap than battles. I stepped away from it and was in hiatus. Years later during college, I made friends with "DJ Frantik". He is resident DJ for SESSION A @ CAL POLY POMONA. I was invited to check it out. The whole atmosphere, crowd, and music brought back the intense feelings I had for the art. I started getting back to what I had missed before and that was the style.

Presently, I am a staunt supporter of SESSION A. I drop by their shows when I get a chance, but for the most part I am working independently with some help from people in Carson/SouthBay Area on tracks I'll be coming out in due time..............

Jazz and Hip Hop are the two musical influences. Mostly story-line style / current events based type. A change from the norm and opens hearts and minds to what people are accustomed to.

Pomona + Carson, California.... My two base pads.
