br /Bio:/b/p
pBorn August 9, 1981 Marcello Anthony Lopez. Oakland California Native, a graduate of Oakland Street Academy. Multi-Cultural background, so diversity is no stranger. Anthony has had the unfortunate experience of association with racial profiling, poverty along with social acceptance. Too light to be black, too dark to be white but his lyrics apply to all. At fifteen Anthony began attending the San Francisco Boys Girls Club and was introduced to a state of the art recording studio, and Taisol was incarnated. Fundraisers, festivals, protests and political awareness campaigns are some of the experiences under his belt. Older and even more knowledgeable, Taisol is here to put it on the minds of his generation. Jogging our memories to acknowledge, accept and create positive feedback on continuous unlawful and unfair acts surrounding the communities. Taisol will continue to provide consciousness to those whom are unconscious by building and strengthening the new generation. Opening the eyes of those blinded by constant casualties steamed by political injustice, empowering his generation with information pertaining to reality and longevity. A long lasting mental impression, food for mental intellect, and dialect everyone understands. As a young adult he has established his own publishing company, Poetic Hustla Foundation, is a member of ASCAP and is exploring all aspects of the Entertainment and Performing Arts industry. An artist, a lyricist with business savvy, a product of poverty, a statistic to the government but a prodigy to the ghetto.br /
