Joeseph Alexander Rodriguez, better known by his stage name “Zero”, is an American rapper, songwriter, and producer. 
 Born in San Diego, California, Zero was raised in Dallas, Texas. It was during this time he got into the rap/hip-hop culture, accrediting Houston and Atlanta underground rappers as influences. 
 Zero credits his biggest inspiration, his younger brother, John Rodriguez, who died in December 2018 at the age of 19. “Music was something we both shared, especially our love for R&B. He is my biggest motivator and I couldn’t do this if I didn’t think he was watching.” 
 After garnering over 5 million streams on SoundCloud, Zero decided to take his music more seriously and released his first mixtape “Drip Offensivly” under his self started label; “Drip Offensivly Entertainment”
