One-2, was born in Iran, raised in Sweden and is of Armenian descent, he moved with his family in 1999 to the United States where they settled in Southern California, giving One-2 proximity to the entertainment capital of the world.
Eager to try his hand at MCing, One-2 dedicated himself to rapping and started making amateur recordings on his home stereo equipment. After tightening his skills, One-2 started performing in front of friends.
"People would give me good feedback," One-2 recalls. "They would tell me, 'What you're saying is real and you're telling it from your heart. You have that look in your eye. You can do this.' So I kept on doing it on the low here and there, interacting with different crews."
Soon thereafter, one of One-2's friends came to visit him at Quiznos, where One-2 was a dishwasher. One-2's friend introduced him to Tico Khrimian, President and CEO of the fledgling Treacherous Records. Impressed by One-2's rap skills and won over by his charisma, Khrimian signed One-2 to Treacherous Records.
In 2004, One-2 unleashed a verbal showcase on the music world with his debut mixtape; High School Dropout. Featuring appearances from Crooked I and Big Syke among others, the mixtape featured original beats, as well as some well known classics.
The mixtape was more succesful than even One-2 could have hoped, receiving positive reviews not just from Californian fans, but across the whole of American and around the globe.
Now, two years later, One-2 is ready to follow up on his underground buzz with his second mixtape; New Day New Money, and will release his debut album later next year.
One-2 will be having a mixtape release party at Forbidden City in LA to celebrate the release, and everyone is invited. With special guest appearances from Crooked I and Thug Life's Big Syke, it should be a major event.
