Artist History Si Age 21 Hometown: Columbia, MD Life story: My mother and stepfather raised me until I was 15. Religious differences separated me from them, causing me to move with my grandmother to Morehead City, NC. There, I went and got my GED for the simple fact that school was no longer a challenge. I learned more on my own time than at school. From there, I began my studies in professional audio recording. I studied catalogues, magazines, and books, anything about audio. I then moved to Phoenix, AZ, with intentions of attending The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences. Disasterous situations forced me to begin working for Guitar Center and not attending the school. After some time I then returned to NC to pursue my dream of starting my own production company. Azariah I was born in Florida, where I lived for a while until I was 15. I started out in a private school called Pensacola Christian. I learned a lot while I was in there but nothing could prepare me for public school. A lot of things changed when I stopped going to private school. My parents got a lot more strict than ever before and I always thought that was bad. I moved to North Carolina in the summer of 96. I thought this would be a good place to start over, seeing that my life went downhill the last two years I was in Florida. I started seeing the world as it really was. I learned everything about sex, drugs, crime, and basically how to survive on the streets. That carried on for about two years. In 98, I finally got plugged into a church, because I was tired of living on the streets. I got saved but never really knew what it was about. It made me feel good at times, and bad at other times. I thought I wouldn't have to deal with the world again, but soon found out that it was still there. I turned from God for a while, knowing there was a purpose for my life, but never wanting to recognize it. I never really fit in anywhere and when I wanted to be who I thought I was I got judged by everybody. So I could never find myself truly until I moved to Morehead City. I gave my life totally to God and He began to show me what He was about and who I really am. It was in my lowest times I found a love and an anger at the same time. A love that I could never explain, but I knew I would never be alone. An anger that I was going through so much drama. I never thought I would be anything but a druggy and a bum. But I know there is a greater purpose. I ask God why I go through so many things, why we live in a world like this, He says we are only passing through....
