Shears Birthplace/Residence: Seattle, WA Age: 23 Resume: Welcome 2 Seattle Mixtape, Mixtape Millennium Series Vol. 1 & 2, Midas: Gold & Platinum Touch, Back From the Dead, The Growth: My ENDtroduction. Musical Inspirations/Influences: Andre (Outkast), L.L. Cool J, Tupac, Biggie, Cee-lo (Goodie Mobb), Nas, Jay Z, Talib Kweli, Jimi Hendrix ect... The 411: If there's one edge Shears Music Group mixtapes have over all other Seattle mixtapes, it's their marquee player, Anthony J. Shears. His incalculable innovation and creativity make for awesome experience... Sheezy the playboy, Anthony J. the workhorse, Mr. Shears the company head... many personalities, One Man. There's no doubt this kid wants the throne. Anthony J. began rhyming at age 9. During his 8th grade year, Shears penned a rhyme that won free K-swiss gear (over $450,000 worth) for everyone in his school, and recorded his first music video. Since then, he's been slowly building up a reputation of innovation and originality. 'The Growth: My ENDtroduction' is an appetizer for whats to come. It has D.J. Phonetic exclusives like 'Mea Culpa' and 'Tears In Your Eyes', previously slept-on tracks, throw-back and newly-dipped freestyles and remixes interspersed with Anthony J.'s Lebron-like youth and finesse. "Anthony J. Shears is for anyone who's ever been through any kind of stuff in their life. It's for anyone who's ever been on the bottom and hustled to realize their dreams," Phonetic says. One of the album's many highlights is "Mea Culpa", which Shears penned as an open letter to all the loved ones and friends that he's hurt. "Mea culpa literally means an acknowledgment of a personal error or fault. I have many flaws, but that's a part of who I am. This song looks at both sides of individual failings and mistakes both what causes them and their long-term effects," Shears says. My music is about getting' it however you get it - it's about survival." The bottom line is, if the Pacific Northwest is going to have an impact on a national level, Anthony J. Shears will definitely be at the forefront of the movement. Discography Redemption (2008) The Growth: My ENDtroduction (2006) Welcome 2 Seattle Mixtape (2003) Links http://shearsmusicgroup.com .

Story behind the song
Today another woman died and not on a foreign field and not with a rifle strapped to her back, and not with a large defense of tanks rumbling and rolling behind her. She died without CNN covering her war. She died without talk of intelligent bombs and strategic targets The target was simply her face, her back her pregnant belly. The target was this life that had lived its own dear wildness, had been loved and not loved, had danced and not danced. A life like yours or mine that had stumbled up from a beginning and had learned to walk and had learned to read. and had learned to sing. Another woman died today. not far from where you live; Just there, next door where the tall light falls across the pavement. Just there, a few steps away where youve often heard shouting, Another woman died today. She was the same girl her mother used to kiss; the same child you dreamed beside in school. The same baby her parents walked in the night with and listened and listened and listened For her cries even while they slept. And someone has confused his rage with this womans only life. I wrote "Tears in Your Eyes" to be a candle in the dark.... Know that I love you and that I'm here for you. Speak Truth or Speak Nothing! Sincerely, AS
