A SoCal native born & raised in Oceanside, Ca (North San Diego County) with roots coming out of Columbia, South Carolina finds himself obligated to bring genuine, soulful hip-hop and r&b. Staying true to the very roots of both the sub-genres merging them together to create a refreshing sound for the listeners' ears to relate to.

John Givez knows all about the violence going on in his streets and streets all around the country. He has seen many of his peers fall victim to the gang banging lifestyle, prostitution, drug use, cutting, alcoholism etc. He is deeply pained by how the ways of this  world often leave those subject to its disorientation feeling hopeless & empty looking for more of what never lasts. This is what drives John Givez to use music as a platform to first relate to the audience, and then encourage and inspire.
