Story behind the song
It's hard to believe that songwriting was not production's original chosen field. In fact, there is more to this songwriter than meets the ear; he is also a singer and producer.
Growing up in The San Fernando Valley, California, did your hometown influence your craft?
I grew up in a humble place, in the 'hood. The City was infested with drugs and gangs, but the challenge was necessry, because I learned at an early age that the consequences for making bad choices are jail and death. I was really introduced to music by my high school homeboy and now music partner Jose "Montana" Mendoza.
Who were your favorite artists growing up?
I was blown away by Silvio Rodriguez, Alanis Morissette, Nirvana, and Tupac Shakur - I loved his vision of society and how he was able to project that in his music.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
I would have to say my first one was to see my name on the credits for the copilation - LOS TIRADORES VOL.1, and to hear my voice on the radio for the first time. Also starting my own music publishing company, Carlos I Talavera Publishing Company and starting Kings Of Flow.
