Talent was born in San Francisco, California in 1981. He eventually moved to Seaside, California, a small city in the Monterey County. Seaside is where he grew into a phenomenal musician. He began engineering, writing, performing, and producing rap and R&B by the age of 14. By 16, music had become Talent’s passion. By then he knew that he wanted to do music for the rest of his life. He would later be featured on albums with such artists as Erika Badu, E40, Yukmouth, Keak the Sneak, and San Quinn. Developing his abilities, Talent remained humble and relatively unknown to the world. After over a decade of music he recorded over 100 songs that very few people have been fortunate enough to here. In 2006, Hustle Hard Records released 16 of these songs on an R&B album engineered, written, performed, and produced almost entirely by Talent himself. ‘Talent Show’ is the name of his first and only album available to the public presented by Hustle Hard Records. In the many years he has done music, he has focused his efforts entirely on the musical aspect of his career. Talent’s success is truly seen in the quality of his music, rather than in his fame and/or his fortune. He prides himself for staying true to his music, even if it means that it will take longer for the world to know the name Talent.
