The SHOW was born and raised in Philadelphia, he hails from the section known as Uptown. Having attended the city’s Creative and Performing Arts High School, he developed a keen eye for fine art, style and fashion. When The SHOW started his rap career he honed his skills battling in different neighborhoods, on street corners and in barbershops throughout Philly; developing his lyricism and flair for performance. The SHOW has since gone on to work with artists such as Jazmine Sullivan and his mentor Fonzworth Bentley.
As an actor The SHOW has been seen in independent films, such as “Money, Power, Respect” and “After Autumn”, as well as national televised programs such as the reality series “13: Fear is Real”, and “CBS Sunday Morning”. He considers himself a curator of culture for urban America, his trendsetting style and taste-making abilities come to the forefront of his lyrics. His philosophy is “uncool is the new cool”…being yourself over following the crowd! The SHOW’s clever wordplay and confident delivery separate him from most rappers; he has a mainstream appeal, but the realities of where he’s from allow him to effortlessly relate to the streets.
The SHOW goes by the alias “The Class Prez”…not because of anything school related, but because he is “the President of having class”!! His perspective in rap is based on his aspirations, and experiences. He has an insatiable taste for luxury and isn’t afraid to indulge his listeners with his relentless pursuit of the finer things. Instead of reaching for a gun, or drugs to sell, The SHOW chooses to reach for the highest goals based in his unwavering belief in his God-given gifts. After releasing three mixtapes in the past two years, The SHOW is preparing his debut album “Concierge of C.O.O.L: Creating Our Own Lives”!! He is driven to leave his mark as an icon in the world of music, fashion, and film! Grab a front row seat and get your popcorn ready… for The SHOW!!
