ELZO THE PRO
[[ELZO WAS BORN ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 1989 IN THIES, SENEGAL IN THE EXTREME WEST OF WEST AFRICA.HIS REAL NAME IS OUMAR CIRE TALLA HE WAS NAMED AFTER MY PATERNAL GRANDPA. BEING A SON OF A MUSICIAN ELZO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO SAY THAT HE INHERITED MY LOVE FOR MUSIC. GROWING UP, HE USED TO HEAR HIS OLDER COUSINS LISTEN TO RAP/HIP-HOP IT WAS NEW TO HIM BUT I LIKED IT SO MUCH IT EVENTUALLY FELT LIKE HE WAS BORN LISTENING TO IT. ONE OF THE FIRST RAP SONGS HE FELL IN LOVE WITH WAS "RUFF RYDERS ANTHEM" RELEASED IN 1989 WHEN HE WAS 9 YEARS OLD. IN 2002 AT THE AGE OF 13 HE STARTED WRITING SLAM-LIKE POEMS IN SENEGALESE TRADITIONAL LANGUAGE "WOLOF" THEY CALL IT "TALIF". TWO YEARS LATER IT HOOKED HIM UP WITH HIP-HOP BUT THIS TIME NOT JUST AS A LISTENER BUT AS A RAPPER, THEN HE STARTED WRITING RAP SONGS IN ENGLISH. HIS LOVE FOR THE ENGLSIH LANGUAGE HE ALSO GOT IT FROM MY FATHER BECAUSE HE'S BEEN AN ENGLISH TEACHER SINCE ELZO WAS A KID. WHEN ELZO WAS 6 YEARS OLD HE STARTED PLAYING WITH ENGLISH BOOKS. ELZO THE PRO WAS POPULAR IN (MAMADOU DIAW SECONDARY SCHOOL AT THIES) BECAUSE HE STARTED SHARING HIS SONGS WITH HIS FELLOW STUDENTS AND HE HUNG OUT WITH OTHER RAPPERS WHO WERE ALSO HIS CLASSMATES. NOW HE LIVES WITH HIS FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS IN THE EAST OF THE UNITED STATES.. HE'S CURRENTLY WORKING ON HIS FIRST ALBUM WHICH WILL BE ENTITLED "I'M SO READY".
