HALO THE YOUNG PHAROAH
HALO THE YOUNG PHAROAH

“I write music and I write facts"

I need stuff in my head to put on tracks

Just the facts,

thats my motive….”

Halo the Young Pharoah is known for his unique lyrical skills and great versatility in every genre of music, including his new self-made genre, “weird.”

Born in Brooklyn NYC, Halo was flown to the land of his parents, Trinidad and Tobago where he grew up an average life as an A class student in the silent country side village of Delaford, Tobago. Halo was exposed to music at a very young age being that his aunts and grandmother were well known singers. Being a shy person Halo often avoided the spotlight that his older brother Terraforce would gladly control, and often was seen as just another face in the crowd until age seven. There was a calypso competition in his class and the assignment was for each student to compose a song in one night and present it before the class. Halo, at age seven, wrote his song and presented it on the following day, and shocked the teacher, Sharon Oneil, who then went over the lyrics with other teachers claiming that it was too advanced for a seven year old to compose. The teacher was then forced to give Halo second place for the unknown becoming of the song. Halo looked at this as a blessing since he was doing what normal seven year old kids weren't.

Halo went on to high school where he started Dj’ing with a classmate and often entertained his friends with his slick thoughts and made up small jingles for other students that wowed his colleagues with witty lyrics and clever delivery. It was all a learning process and Halo was learning twice as fast.

Upon leaving high school Halo joined the military where he met other individuals who were well rounded in music, this opened him up to the hip hop world where he began blending reggae and rap into his songs thus having a distinct sound from the others.

After being Honorably discharged from the military, Halo continued to pursue his love for music, he sang at work, he sang at church, he sang whenever he had a chance and was often told by friends to take it serious. Taking the advice of his friends, Halo began doing more writing and revision of the art of music and was presented with his first opportunity where he wrote and recorded a song with Mariah Carey's engineer.

Halo portrayed the ability to sing, rap, and change his voice at will. This was the first time he really saw his true ability and how much his work was appreciated so he went even harder into the music. More writing, more recording, less sleep.

In college Halo was presented yet another opportunity to perform in front of a crowd, yet again his delivery and voice made him instantly stand out and upon singing his song, he realized that numerous students knew it as well. This song was entitled "Wine and Bump," and the crowd’s response made Halo push even harder with the music and thus he became a contestant on a reality show "Battlezone." In “Battlezone” Halo honed in on his weak areas and got better with delivery and performing. He left the show with the first place trophy in 2009. From then Halo has been set apart from any artist alive. Some say he has a somewhat sound like Vybz Kartel, his music mentor, but over the years Halo has separated himself by being a leader and not a follower. There's only one person who can do it for him and he's doing it.

Halo the young Pharoah is currently working on multiple releases. A Mixtape entitled “3 G’s” “Girls, Guns, Guidance,” which is a three cd mixtape that really shows his diversity as an artist, and a much darker compilation, "The Bucha", are some of his current projects.

Apart from performing along side artists such as Bunji Garlin, Fayann Lyons, RDX, Voicemail, Mad Cobra, Mr Peppa and many other known names, Halo and his crew “TRINI ASSASSINS” have been going toe to toe with the top guys in the music industry and are aiming on setting new levels. Trini Assassins, the crew that Halo is associated with is comprised of many artists, which the main members are, Young Kuzar and Sharrp Shooter. Combined, Halo and his clique are more than a lyrical force to me messed with. Its all about music and as Halo always says, ”We deal with matters it nuh matter wat di matter be.
