Spreading Love & Hip-Hop - http://dallaschoice.net

I was born in Elgin, IL and have lived all around the Chicago area through most of my life. I began playing guitar and singing around 12 years old and picked it up very quickly. As the years went by, I fell out of love with guitar and quit playing and focused on school.

Time went and I ended up living with my cousins. My cousin Paul, aka Yung Paul, had started rapping and I fell in love with the art. The first time I watched 8 Mile I got inspired and had it in my mind that I wanted to rap but never pursued the art until I met up with my cousin. I started as a manager for my cousin Yung Paul and began to hone the craft of writing rap. I worked around the best in Chicagoland. My cousin Paul is a master at writing and so is Quatro Dollaz.

Our friend NoLuvDaPoet was great too and we all spent time together. Paul, Quatro, and I all left for a trip to Cali to meet with Stay Strap. He runs Mansion of Mayhem in California. Things eventually went south so I headed to Hollywood and later found myself living on 2nd Street San Pedro, CA. I met Morgan Choice along the way, a professional dancer who has danced for many famous artists.

One day I asked her if she would dance if I got the chance to provide for her as an artist. She said yes. Soon after separating I made the choice to make my name Dallas Choice. She has inspired me in many ways and her father Leonard Choice, who’s also a dancer, has been a support to me the whole way. I have dedicated myself to my work and passion with the mindset of never giving up.

When sleeping on the streets of Hollywood, living in the freezing cold streets of Elgin and Rockford, staying 7 months in a tent in Elgin, I never let my heart get lost and kept pushing through. To the streets of Hollywood, San Pedro, Rockford, and my hometown Elgin (the streets that made me who I am today...) “We Will Win!”
