About me:


Read below to see what everyone is saying about my book... "Next Stop: Growing up Wild Style in The Bronx."


My last two trips to New York have been an amazing success and a dream come true! The Peace, Unity & Hope Concert Press Conference, Hanging with Luis Guzman & Crew, The Illegal Tender Movie Premiere with Casper Martinez, April Lee Hernandez, Xiomara Medina & Luis Guzman was insane. The ExtravaGangsta Platinum Party was all love, Mad Love to Lynx, RAS & Myk Jones! I'll keep working hard people... I'm on the right path!




Wild Style Sampler Event @ powerHouse in DUMBO, Brooklyn... June 2007. Much Love to DJ Disco Wiz & Joe Conzo!



Below are pictures of Mi Familia Showing Next Stop some Serious Love... Luis Guzman (Carlito's Way, Luis, etc...), April Hernandez (Freedom Writers), La Bruja (Def Jam Poet), Casper Martinez (Manito, Carlito's Way 2), Luis Antonio Ramos (Friends, Martin, CSI: Miami, The Closer), Xiomara Medina (Latina Songstress), The Legendary DJ Disco Wiz, Brother Actors Jason George (Barber Shop, Eve, The Box) & Jarvis George (The Wire, Cry Wolf & Navy NCIS) & Ramon Rodriguez (The Wire, DayBreak)...

Cool Slideshows



On October 14, 2008 – I became the 4th Puerto Rican from New York to publish a memoir with a major publishing house – Simon & Schuster.

Piri Thomas was the first with, “Down These Mean Streets.” Edward Rivera was second with, “Family Installments: Memories of Growing up Hispanic,” and Esmeralda Santiago was the third with, “When I Was Puerto Rican.”

I take my role as Puerto Rican writer extremely seriously and I will remain dedicated to continuing to write books that educate us about our histories.

My second book is co-authored with Luis “DJ Disco Wiz” Cedeno and will be released by powerHouse Book in June 2009. It’s titled, “It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ.” I’m proud to say it’s one of the greatest survival stories you will ever read.

I’ve also co-founded the “What Is Your Next Stop?” campaign with my partner, Actress April Lee Hernandez of “Freedom Writers” fame. Together we’ve made it our mission in life to go into communities across the United States to try to educate and awaken the minds of the youth. We speak about death so they can appreciate life.


For more information, please feel free to visit www.isanchez.com or email me at ivan@isanchez.com



My second book was co-authored with Luis "DJ Disco Wiz" Cedeno... This book is the memoir of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop's First Latino DJ. It is also a story about struggle and survival against all odds. Pick it up now or come see us in June when the book changes the way people view the streets of the Bronx, Hip Hop Music and the prison system. This is an educational tale for the real.
Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in making a positive change in 2007. We need to stop the violence in our communities & save our youth!

Urban Author's who write from the heart no matter what the cost to them personally.

Spike Lee, Ramon Rodriguez, J-Lo, Marc Anthony, Al Pacino, Oprah Winfrey, John Leguizamo y Rosie Perez.

All my friends who have past away... I'll meet you all again in Heaven...

Boricuas writing their own history.
That's what this period in history will be known as.
Everytime a poet writes a stanza,
everytime an author writes a chapter,
everytime a comic tells a joke about growing up in an hispanic home, everytime a photographer documents an event,
everytime we tell our story we are writing our own history.

This is really what Cemi Underground was all about. May 28 at 6:00pm at 1680 Lexington Avenue (between 105th & 106th St) in NYC. Join La Bruja as she hosts an all-star night with Los Pleneros de la 21, Mariposa, Arnold Acevedo's El Boogie Down Comedy Show, Cindy SugaRush, Bobby Gonzalez, Jose Angel Figueroa and many other talented poets, authors, painters and musicians...

Food, Music, Art, Poetry, Comedy for $15.00 pp.

One can never pay in gratitude: one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.

Help others achieve their dreams and you will achieve yours.

Welcome spring....
Have an amazing week ahead!
Hugs and Much Love
