aero. (aeroWithADot) is All-day Everyday Rocking On period. As he likes to continuously call it, he’s “on the grind all the time.”

Born and bred around the Pacific, aero. developed a distinct sense of style which stems from a collection of cultures. A United States military brat since birth, he has
isle-hopped Japan, Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines.

Music has always been the rhythm of aero.’s life with his influences ranging from The Beatles to Bob Marley. At an early age, he secretly snuck into his older sister’s room while she was out to listen to her cassette tapes. The Beastie Boys and Run DMC were his first favorites. Wu-Tang Clan and Souls of Mischief would later lure aero. onto the microphone. As an adolescent, Hip-Hop was everywhere he went.

aero.’s passion for painting poetic pictures is as important as his priorities for God, his family and his friends. He maintains a meticulous balance between life and music by simply taking real life and making real music out of it. His everyday experiences, good or bad, are expressed from an emcee’s point of view. Although lyrically limitless, aero. refrains from rapping about the routine rhetoric: drugs, sex and violence. He may make use of metaphors using a negative notion that appear here and there, but as far as promoting them goes---it’s an absolute no-no. Instead, his compositions come complete with topics that everyone can feel comfortable with. If aero.’s cuts were to be categorized, he claims Folk music would best describe his work which he dedicates to people of all walks of life. Certainly, there will be more than a few joints that will jump out at the audience.

In Hawaii, aero. worked with Creed Chameleon (SIQ Records) whom, back then, was a part of his crew called D2DOS (Dynamic Duo + Disciples of Soul). In 1997, they finished as flamboyant finalists for “Road To Fame”, an island-wide talent search, and became the first ever Hip-Hop act to participate in the competition. In Guam, he worked with RoMZ Tha ILLAMNTL (SikMind Muzik Inc.) under the precision point production of Korespawn (Majah Flavah Productions). In 1999, they released an underground CD with songs that reached the request lines of the best, blazin’ local R&B and Hip-Hop radio station, Power 98 FM.

Since 2001, aero. has been putting it down in the Philippines for his beloved province, Bacolod City. While attending the University of St. La Salle, he passed as a part-time disc jockey for Jamie 102.3 FM on “Choklit Soul”. His vibrant voice had become so familiar that even rival radio station, Music Now 90.3 FM, took him in as a talent for the metro’s pioneer Hip-Hop party, “The Beat Goes Live”. Shortly after, aero. served a series of hosting stints with the most notable gigs held at North Bar. There was “Choklit Soul Live” with DJ Kid on Fridays, and when summer sank in, there was “Beach Ball” on Wednesdays with reinforcement from DJ Rex. “Fly Fridays” soon took over Choklit Soul Live and it opened up the opportunity to work with the world-renowned DJ Shortkut (Invisibl Skratch Piklz) who flew in for a Philippine tour. Other big bashes were the “Friendster Grand Eyeball” and “Elements” parties. In 2004, aero. took the title of The Vibe/FlavaStreet “Free2Rhyme” Tour Rap Battle Champion and was later denied permission in ever entering the event again. Before graduating, he was handed full-time slots on-air and handled “A.M.s With aero.” and his very own Saturday special show, “PhatSat” for the City of Smiles Hip-Hop heads and R&B residents. The competition hated the fact that more and more listeners loved the piece as each week progressed. When aero. had his Business Management degree diploma in hand, he knew he should get back to the music. He would hustle independently though. Since June 30, 2006, he has released three albums on his own entitled aero. EP, The Bacolod City Bandit Mixtape and The City of Smiles Slinger Mixtape. aero. made up his mind to push his radio personality aside to promote his music on other local airwaves that initially opposed his proposals. He wedged his way in M.O.R. 101.5 FM and Killerbee 106.3 FM, and in an instant, conquered their countdowns.

Moving on to Manila, aero. comes as original as his signature, self-styled shirts. Letting his name be known, throwing up the 3rd World and bringing Bacolod City on his back, he stands proud like a braggadocios B-Boy. His latest single “In My City” is currently getting daily airplay in Manila on Wave 89.1 FM and Magic 89.9 FM. Cebu, Davao, Zamboanga and other parts of the archipelago are giving aero. generous exposure as well. “IndiePlug” on the Viva Prime channel has also featured him on several weekly episodes which have gained him a bigger buzz nationally. Now working with artists from Turbulence Productions (B-Roc, CHRiZO, NimbusNine), 6000 GOONZ (Mobbstarr, Gloc-9, Stick Figgaz), Locked Down Entertainment (ILL-J, Monique, Peoples Future), Nathan J (Seven Shots), Dash (Legit Misfitz), Mike Swift (To The Billboard) and many more musical talents, he is coming with music never yet heard of.

At the moment, aero.’s on a steady schedule of performing and recording. He has bombarded The Basement at “The Community Pt. 2” and wreaked havoc at Rock Candy at “Wrap ‘Em Up”. Besides putting together his brand new solo project, he has gathered a good amount of guest appearances for other artists’ albums. aero. is featured on Mike Swift’s “To The Billboard” compilation, B-Roc’s “Tippin’ The Scales” mixtape and The Beatmonx’s “The Beatmonx Not Dead” double-disc CD. Soon he will be found on full-length albums by ILL-J, 2Tay and Peoples Future. By late 2010, AMP (aero. + Marquiss + PhD) will be dropping a collaborative effort that is already being anticipated. His latest accomplishments are rocking the crowd at the Fete De La Musique Festival for three years straight and brandishing another victory at the Sick Wid It Nights “Back To Basics” MC Freestyle Competition.

In July of 2009, his affiliation with Turbulence Productions became official as the closed roster opened it’s doors temporarily and signed aero. to Philippine’s premier independent Hip-Hop label. Still, representing 3rd World and 6000 GOONZ and flying around the Philippines, he has rocked Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Fusing the accent of the underground and the appeal of the mainstream, aero. will be the busiest, buzz-worthy breakthrough artist in due time. His music will speak for itself. His music will bring back the essence of Hip-Hop. His music will come across to cross ALL boundaries.
