Biografía

TEGO CALDERON
 
RAP'S VERSITILE POET
 
 In the Puerto Rican hip hop and rap music scene, the name of Tego Calderon stands out because he is a complete and versatile artist, and probably one of the few that has used his lyrics to show the common citizens woes and worries through life, touching such themes as poverty, social discrimination and racism.
	
He could very well be qualified as "the rapper with a conscience" or the "street poet" since his musical style and lyrics have become a testimonial to the daily lives of the "people" (Puerto Ricans and Latino Americans alike) just like the work previously done by artists within the salsa, bomba and plena music genres.

Everything started at the end of the 80's in the city of Miami, where for the first time he was exposed to the influence of American Hip-Hop by listening to the group N.W.A. This was a pivotal moment in the direction that his career would take. Exploring a diversity of musical influences, the artist continues his studies at the Escuela Libre de Puerto Rico, taking percussion classes and developing his songwriting abilities.

Latin Jazz and Salsa added to his creativity at the same time that Reggaeton began to expand within the Puerto Rican urban culture. His musical style influenced by Afro Caribbean rhythms emphasizes his black and Caribbean heritage, with a delightfully malicious touch most likely attributed for his liking of Vico C's music which inspired him to compose his own lyrics in Spanish.
 
After several album and collaborations with other rap artists, the singer and songwriter signed his first music contract with the White Lion label, company that released his first album "El Abayarde" in 2002, a record which was responsible for causing a revolution in the music industry, and his homeland, elevating him to the top. The album sold 50 thousand copies in its first promotional day, a national record breaking mark. Soon the "tegomania" took over the public and his look was imitated by thousands of youngsters sporting the big "afro" hairstyle a la "El Abayarde".

In August of 2003 at the peak of his career, Tego was the headlining act in a concert at the Madison Square Garden in New York. His performance was hailed by the New York Times and his music began to air in American radio stations. Other prestigious publications such as Billboard, Rolling Stone and the New York Post have recognized his talent highlighting his style and music.

Advancing in his career as the new "voice from the street", Calderon participates in the recording "El Enemy de los Wasibiris". Soon after, he received proposals to collaborate with Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Cypress Hill and Wyclef Jean. He also emphasized his multicultural perspective, adding some influences from the Jamaican music movement Dancehall Reggae as popularized by Ninja Man, Super Cat and Buju Banton. Tego has also collaborated musically with Latin artists such as La Mala Rodriguez from Spain and Venezuelan Oscar D'Leon, among others.

Born on Feb 1, 1972, in the city suburbs of Santurce and raised among the Rio Grande and Carolina municipalities, Tegui Calderon Rosario (his real name), arrived in the rap scene at the end of the 90's. Before then, he had worked as a supermarket bag boy, newspaper delivery boy, truck driver, construction worker, taxi driver and bartender, accumulating a whole lot of experiences that he used in his first professional performance in the album "Crazy Boricua 2". Later, a brief participation in a production recorded for the "In The House Magazine" began to open some doors.

However, his name stood out after his participation in the first anthological album "Boricuas in NY", introduced by Eddie Dee, who invited him to sing the wonderful duet in the track "En peligro de extinción" included in his record "Terrorista de la lírica".

By then, Tego Calderon was already dominating the rap scene in his country, with privileged placement among the followers of this new Puerto Rican urban culture. His creative vision joined with rhythmic esthetics and a solid Afroboricuan presence, contributed with a brand new paradigm in the local music industry. In the meantime, his talent and presence was rising even more as a respected and compromised rapper.

His music was recognized by Afrika Bambaataa due to his achievements as a pioneer in the hip hop movement and his contribution to black pride. In 2006, he traveled to Africa with VH1 to show his support for the diamond miners. This trip reinforced his compromise not to wear the characteristic shiny jewelry that the artists of the genre wear.

Other recognitions to his talent came along like nominations to the main awards like "Latin Grammy", "Billboard", "La Gente", "BET Awards" and "MTV Awards", with an outstanding performance in the MTV Awards show that impressed the U.S. His acceptance in the American market turned Tego Calderon into the lead image for Hennessy Cognac advertising campaign in the U.S. and Puerto Rico; Once again, making history as the first reggaeton artist to capture the attention of a worldwide brand by forming part of their promotional campaign.

In 2007 Tego Calderon releases his new album "El Abayarde Contra-Ataca" and makes his film debut in the movie "Illegal Tender" portraying the role of Choco. With this film, directed and produced by John Singleton, Tego makes another historical move as the first Hispanic urban artist to start in the big screen.

"El Abayarde" once again revolutionizes the musical scene with the recording of this album under the Warner Music Latina label, returning to his roots and giving his fans a musical jewel.
