Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
CHRIS "LIL SANDMAN" SANDERS FELL IN LOVE WIT MUSIC AT A VERY YOUNG AGE HE WAS LACED MOSTLY BY HIS UNCLE BIG SANDMAN WHO IS AN LEGENDARY PRODUCER IN SAN DIEGO. LIL SANDMAN GREW UP ON THA EASTSIDE OF SAN DIEGO RANGING FROM SKYLINE TO ENCANTO AND SPRING VALLEY. WHEN HE WAS IN EIGHTH GRADE HE HEARD EAST TRIPPIN FROM HIS RELI TERRELL BROWN AND THAT INSTANTLY INSPIRED HIM TO RAP AND HE BEGAN JOTING DOWN LYRICS IN HIS CLASS NOTE BOOKS. LIL SANDMAN EVEN SAID IN HIS OWN WORDS " I REMEMBER WHEN I HAD NOTEBOOKS FULL OF RAPS THEY WERE WACK AS FUCK I WOULDNT SPIT ANY OF THAT SHYT NOW HAHAHAHA" BUT AS HE REACHED THE AGE OF 13 HE MET ONE OF HIS CLOSE HOMIES JAY-ROCK AT HELIX HIGH SCHOOL AND HE NOTICED THAT JAY ROCK WAS MAKIN HIS OWN BEATS WIT FRUITYLOOPS ON HIS COMPUTER. SO AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SOAKING UP GAME, LIL SANDMAN BEGAN MAKIN HIS OWN BEATS. HE STARTED OUT GIVING HIS BEATS TO ONE OF HIS BIGGEST INFLUENCES AND FAVORITE RAPPERS STORMIN NORMIN. THE FIRST BEAT HE GAVE STORMIN WAS THE "JAB AT HER" BEAT. WHICH QUICKLY BECAME A HIT IN SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO. AS HE CONTINUE TO GROW AS A ARTIST HE RELEASED HIS FIRST SELF PRODUCED SONG "SATURDAY" WHICH ALSO BECAME A SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO CLASSIC. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT HE JOINED THE RAP GROUP CALLLED "YKOZ" WHICH STANDS FOR YOUNG KNOCKOUTS, WHERE HE PRODUCED HITS LIKE "JUICE EM" "CRIMINAL ACTIVITYS" "INSTRUCTIONS" "WOOLFIN" "SO CALI" AND MANY MORE YKO HITS. THEN OFF OF THA SUCCESS OF THE YKOZ HE STARTED HIS OWN RAP LABEL OF SOUTHEAST ARTIST CALLED SANDBOXX ENT WHERE CURRENTLY THEY HAVE A ROSTER FULL OF TALENT AND ONE OF THA HOTTEST MIXTAPES SAN DIEGO EVER WITNESSED. HE HAS ALSO PRODUCED ARTIST SUCH AS MIKEY OP, MARK THE SHARK, YUNG FRESH, LIL MOUF, SERGIO PRICE, CKOOL ASS CALI, CRIPTO, C-HECC, C-ONDRE LOC, AND TONS OF OTHER ARTIST IN SAN DIEGO. LIL SANDMAN TAKES PRIDE AT WORKING WITH ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT ARTIST AND HE WONT NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY ARTIST WITH A HUNGER FOR SUCCESS. SO ANY LABELS OR ARTIST LOOKING FOR PRODUCTION OR SIGNING HOT TALENT JUSS WRITE HIS EMAIL... LILSAND2008@YAHOO.COM OR JUST WRITE HIS INBOX...
