This rapper has a very unique story. At age 3, he witnessed he Mother & Auntie’s brutal murder right here in our very own state Portland Oregon, near Legacy Emanuel Hospital on N. Ivy Street. This is where Traumatize & Liquid Anthrax’s & older Sister Margaret's Mother was beaten to death with hammers & axes. Traumatize was found laying on his mothers bludgeoned body unharmed when cops arrived in the house . This led him to later believe that someone close to him may have been involved as there was no forced entry. The unsolved case went cold and so did he and his brother and sister. Each was adopted by a family member. Traumatize was adopted by his mom’s middle sister Bambi and his brother Liquid Anthrax, and their sister Margaret was adopted by their grandmother Margaret Thompson.

Artist - Short Description: My music contains a Ton of real life events which reflect my stage name “Traumatize" aka.The "Tan Superman”. I choose my words wisely keeping the profanity toned down and still getting my listeners to say “WHOA”. I am a soloist. I write and produce the lyrics and “Hot 2 Def” tracks for all of my projects.
Tupac, M&M, Ice Cube and Nas are my biggest inspirations. Tupac, mainly because of his energy on stage, plus his knowledge in capturing and painting a Lyrical picture of the struggles endured and Nas, for his intellect. M&M is a lyrical vessel who has captured my attention long agoIce Cube is just the don dodda of rap & he is definatley where I wanna be someday A very humble man fa real.
