The son of a musician, Paez spent a good deal of his time growing up on the road and formed the band in 1993 in San Diego. The group built a local following and won several San Diego music awards for their blend of Latin, funk, rock, and reggae, and have toured with artists ranging from Ben Harper to Papa Roach.

They’ve created infectious, chart-topping party anthems and unleashed gritty, grimy manifestos. They’ve toured the world and reigned as international superstars but still live in the city they grew up in. They’ve dominated the pop and R&B charts, all the while staying true to real hip-hop and themselves.
Naughty By Nature are arguably hip-hop’s finest group and unquestionably one of its most beloved. Since the top of the decade, the Jersey based trio has enjoyed three platinum cds, numerous gold and platinum singles, won a Grammy and helped bring hip hop culture to a whole new audience

Ankla, meaning anchor in Spanish, was officially formed in 2001 and consists of Ikaro Stafford on vocals, Ramón OrtÃz on guitar, José Clark on drums, Edgar González on bass and Oscar Santiago on percussion. Ankla represents a new musical vision deeply anchored in Ortiz’s lifelong passion for extreme forms of metal music.
While borrowing traditional elements from thrash, death and hardcore metal, the band still explores and incorporates some of the Latin claves and syncopations that Ramon has been known for without ever stepping out of the metallic sound of the power groove that is intended to push boundaries and is the evolution of modern metal.
