Born in Monterey Park, California, Phenomenon was born into a musical family. Being the third offspring of a drummer (father) and a singer (mother) he had music written in his DNA. Even though he can't really drum or sing very well, his love for music was evident from his early years. His parents constantly blasted a vast array of classic music like The Beatles, Santana, The Carpenters, The Stylistics, and Paul Anka.

Phenomenon's journey led him to West Covina, CA but his musical journey began by pretending to play "La Bamba" on his plastic guitar (with the name Ritchie Valens written on it). He looked up to his two older brothers, and they opened his eyes to the world of hiphop and rap. He then ditched his "guitar" and picked up a pad and paper and wrote rhymes with his brothers. That time with his brothers lit a fire inside of him that til this day is burning bright.

Though he continued to write lyrics, his passion for rhyming was occasionally put aside as he dabbled in other activites (Basketball, tennis, ladies, etc...). Phenomenon started to fall back in love with hip hop when his brother helped him buy a set of turntables and a mixer. He started his own DJ crew with high school classmate DJ Analog, who flourished as a turntablist and quickly overshadowed Phenomenon who quit because he coudn't hang with Analog (just kidding). He put his dj days behind him because he joined Markfader, Konscious K and Jo-Well in the ANTIDOTES ov HIPHOP.

A.ov.HH stands for everything Phenomenon believes in. His mission is to spread the music to all the corners of the world, starting in L.A.
