His dad was a Pro boxer and poet who without a father learned how to be a man from the streets of Chicago. His mom (Michelle) was a pretty school girl who had a short and rewarding modeling career. Both were in love but his dad's turbulent life and lifestyle quickly ended their relationship. In 1978 Michelle took Anthony to California to start over and move on. His dad quit boxing after a brutal loss. He may have won the fight but he was high on cocaine. Tony had three more beautiful children and he did his absolute best to be a father. For the next 10 years he committed crimes, used drugs and was in & out of prison. In 1999 He finally decided to clean his life up and become a boxing trainer before he was murdered.

From 1986 to 1994 he lived in Group Homes located in Watts, Compton and South Central. He got involved with gangs and drugs heavily and while in a fight he was stabbed two times in the back.

Eventually he was taken away from his mom in 1985 by Children Services because of his destructive behavior and the domestic violence and drugs at home. From 1986 to 1994 he lived in Group Homes located in Watts, Compton and South Central. He got involved with gangs and drugs heavily and while in a fight he was stabbed two times in the back. Fearing for his safety his Social Worker promptly moved him to Baldwin Park where he met Acid Reign back then known as "3PM" and members of The Mystics. Like his father Anthony always had a creative writing ability but his new friends brought it out by exposing him to Project Blowed and The Good life venues in LA. Anthony then became express fresh.

*BIO*

Since 1996 solo artist "express fresh" has mesmerized thousands of fans from LA to the Bay. He appears in front of audiences with his horrifically witty amusing antics and zealous stage presence provoking responses of every kind. He uses avant-garde vivid portraits of worded descriptions conveyed in unique displays of well concentrated rhyme patterns and impressive awkward phases. He is one of LA's great Lyrcist. This artist definitely has his own style uncompromisingly seducing originality. His strategy is to deliberately fill heads with clues with some answers while leaving the listener guessing and puzzled totally addicted while wanting more. Express does give it to them eventually but only in small doses. His unpredictability makes him a mystery even to himself always forcing him to discover new avenues of writing songs. Express sounds like no one else in a day and age where similarities and sound a likes flood the music industry. He remains on a crusade to mold a indie progressive eclectic sound which is a rare genre of rap music. His individuality and creativity are two main components that are never left out on his continuous voyage to stardom. The result is that his growth in rap music continues to be triumphant. Express attracts the many splendors of a songwriter and poet front man raving over eclectic musical compositions.
