Born in San Francisco during the year of the bicentennial, Gambizi grew up enduring urban decay and witnessing drugs consume his streets. It was from within having experienced harsh realities he developed the passion and sense of urgency to write rhymes. As a sophomore in high school, Gambizi and friends formed a group, “The Foundation.” During this time, songwriting and performing quickly shifted from a hobby to Gambizi’s central focus. The group lasted four years before parting ways to pursue separate music careers. Upon departure from the group, Gambizi had the opportunity to manifest his craft and sharpen his creative deliveries. Gambizi created the group, “41Pound,” and produced their album, “Scrillafornia.” Because the Bay Area West Coast is a tough market for recognition, Gambizi’s approach involved unity amongst emerging artists with one mission in mind, “Be Heard.” Gambizi began to expose his collaborative talents with the release of a twenty song album featuring various unique bay area voices. Gambizi’s music has aired on the HBO hit TV Series, “Entourage.” With his partner, Manny Davis, Gambizi stared in the DVD and movie, “CLEAN DVD.” In the HBO Special, “Sucka Free City” produced by legendary director Spike Lee, Gambizi played a small role.
