“I was born in Pacita Laguna, Philippines on December 13, 1996. My family and I migrated to Los Angeles, California two years later. In my early years living in my neighborhood I was exposed to gangs and poverty. I would often get into a lot of trouble and my family was heavily disappointed in the actions that I decided to take. They would exclude themselves from the things that I did, assuming that there was no hope for me to change. Later on I realized that I was alone, I had no support from my family and the “friends” I affiliated myself with. As the days progressed, I stumbled upon underground hip hop introducing me to a different perspective and a new found appreciation for the culture. I was introduced to artists like Big L, A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, and Souls of Mischief. I started to attended JUiCE, a non-profit hip hop collective and I met these amazingly talented local emcees, producers, djs that inspired me to make music. I realized that I wanted to contribute to the culture. It seems like yesterday I was recording my songs off a makeshift studio, now I’m rocking crowds and making a name for myself. I’m no longer the old Graciela Moreno, but now as Klassy. My music is based on my beliefs and experiences. I love making music with a positive vibe; the type to lighten up one’s mood or send the message out that in the end of every struggle is a happy out-come. My goal is to inspire. I want to motivate others to stay persistent; as long as you keep your mind on something you’ll be able to achieve it in due time. My love for what I do and my overall goal is what keeps me going. Making music and having others enjoy it simply makes me happy.” – Written by Klassy
