About XienHow
XienHow learned about music at the early stages of life, being that he comes from a line of musicians. While growing up in an era predominanted by Hip Hop for the newest generation of music lovers, it's only natural that he would take part in creating something that would eventually lead to the avenues in which he part takes in this day in age. He started with nothing, no one knowing of him and no real sense of provided direction, chose to one day trying to write a verse in 94 to the instrumentals to Biggie's hit song with Lil Kim and Lil Cease "Plays Grab you *ick if you love hop hop". Slowly over time he continued to write and slowly began performing in the halls of his High School, who at the time was one of only 2 other rappers in the entire school, where now a day one in 10 kids most likely raps publicly or privately. In 2000 he was a founding member of a group "Forensic Science"..the group disbanded in early 2007 and after 100's of shows and just coming to a point in the industry where they were beginning to gain notoriety. After they disbanded, he continued on his own and working with other artists, until he officially formed his own record label "LivenFire Records" in 2007. He has since opened up for and or performed with the likes of Wu-Tang, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, E-40, Too Short, Planet Asia, Canibus, and many others all over the United States, Asia, Europe, and Mexico. With The Release of the Bay Connect in 2006 featuring 32 Mc's all over the bay area and California he established a foundation of music to build from. In 2008 he released his first solo album - Evolution "The 7th Sign" which has done well and continues to gain notoriety throughout the music community. XienHow is not an Artist that will go away. With a concious and revolutionary type messege, look for him to be a prominent figure in the music industry in the very near future.
