Carlos “Los 1” Ramirez II is a truly unique youth educator and hip-hop performer, skilled in presenting the message of sexual purity to teens across America. With 13 years of speaking and rapping experience, his relevant appearance and teaching style connects with students, teachers and audiences nationwide. Los 1 communicates in a bold yet compassionate way that elicits overwhelmingly positive feedback from audiences from Florida to Alaska.
Currently on staff at A Woman’s Place Ministries in Tampa Florida, and its Prevention Services Department IMPACT, Los 1 is a certified instructor for several abstinence-based, sexual health curricula including: WAIT Training, Project Reality Game Plan and Navigator. Speaking to thousands of youth every year in the Hillsborough County Florida Schools, as well as at schools and community events nationwide, he uses music to bring a clear message of character and self-worth to a generation that is bombarded by conflicting sexual messages.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, but raised in Tampa, Los 1 combines the best of east coast and south coast USA sound in the six hip hop albums he’s released to date including his latest for IMPACT, Life Skills. This album delivers a positive message of sexual integrity and the real consequences of risky behaviors through powerful lyrics and vivid storytelling. A longtime member of Tampa’s own Fla.vor Alliance Hip Hop Crew, he has collaborated and been featured on more than 29 other local and nationally produced hip-hop albums.
Los 1 has traveled worldwide and appeared at many National Abstinence Clearinghouse and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conferences, as well as six 2007 Florida Department of Health Great to Wait Sexual Abstinence Rallies where he brought down the house with fellow speaker and mentor, Luis Galdamez, and their extremely interactive show.
Los 1 has received many accolades but is most proud of the awards presented to him by our U.S. Armed Forces. In 2002, one year after 9/11, he was invited to rap at the Pentagon, and in 2003 he was awarded the “Combat Support Speaker” at the Yokota Air Force Base in Yokota, Japan, home of the 374th Airlift Wing. Two Military Coin Awards were presented to Los 1 for Outstanding Assistance to our country.
“My passion is to bring a positive message of hope and encouragement, to confront youth with compassion and watch them embrace the possibilities. I believe in sharing the same message with someone else’s children as the one I believe in for my family. I want to help young people believe in themselves; there is an attainable, exciting future waiting for them. I want to offer truth, not a sales pitch.” Los 1
