HAZ(US)
A skillful songwriter and re-mixer, Haz has written songs for every project put forth by fledging Villin Squad camp. The street album titled Strictly Business, by Rap Artist Focus contains a number of his most powerful work. Since the inception of Villin Squad - Haz growth as a writer / performer has been major. Prior to the completion of (Strictly Business) Haz locked himself away in a recording studio and began to write, sing and learn techniques that would take his music to the next level. Having the opportunity to try out for Sean Combs Making the Band and a meet and greet with Akons family in Atlanta has opened my eyes. This is what I should be doing Says Haz .

Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've done a lot of performances since I first started singing and I love to perform...I'm got a lot better at stage performance since i started and I definatly have more to work on. The most special moment would have to be when I performed at my college and in the middle of the performance a fan threw her bra on stage at me! Good Times!!!
