Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Since 1996, he has circulated demo tracks locally and quickly attracted a passable fan following normally accustomed to West Coast and gangster rap. From that point on AZAREL was provided with numerous club bookings, performing locally and regionally with many of Tacomas top acts...For up-to-date info on AZAREL, pleasse visit the Ocean Records website at www.oceanrecord.com
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play any instruments, but I do perform with a live band. I love it, it brings out the best in me. Whether the crowd is having a good time or not, I'm pumped and acting a fool on stage when I am with a live band. No special moments yet, but I have a feeling I will be this summer when I perform at Bumbershoot 2000 in Seattle. I will be performing in front of ALOT of cats and I plan on entertaining my ass off.
