Sene was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. The son of a native New Yorker and a mother from Puerto Rico, Sene s mother would play salsa music while cleaning their apartment and his father would play his electric guitar and captivate him with old tapes from Woodstock. Though exposed to it from an early age, it wasn t until his step-brother gave him Common s One Day It ll All Make Sense that the hip-hopbug bit a pre-teen Sene. He started soaking up all the classic hip-hop that sprung from NY in the late 90 s, with the Rawkus Soundbombing series being particularly influential. Rapping quickly became more than a hobby for Sene, but between the knucklehead lifestyle and his home life, the would-be MC did not have much of an outlet for his creativity. At 18, Sene moved to the West Coast where he would work and rap. He slowly but surely started developing his lyricism and identity as an MC and began meeting like-minded people and rocking live shows. Soon after his arrival to the west coast, Sene moved to Santa Barbara where he met a friend who ran a college radio show at UCSB which led the young MC freestyling on air for weeks on the show. That same friend later interned for Sound-In-Color, which is where Sene met Blu. Blu offered Sene production--the roots for his debut LP were planted. Later, the two MC s laid the foundation for their album A Day Late & A Dollar Short. Upon nearing the album s completion, something inside Sene clicked and he felt it was only right that he be in Brooklyn when his first full length is released. After being back home, on the evening of a show at Santos Party House with Homeboy Sandman and Donwill, Sene met Pace Rivers from The Clubhouse. Pace approached Sene about working together and Sene began frequenting The Clubhouse. It was from his work at there that the project Exit, Us was born. A collection of self-produced vignettes has made for the most powerful piece Sene has made to date. The project caught the attention of LA indie-label Plug Research and soon Sene found himself as the only MC on the acclaimed label s roster. Sene s writing has matured and developed to a point where it stands on its own. No longer searching for some hot bars, Sene is now aiming to paint landscapes with words, in his own unique way. His sophomore album brooklyknight is set to hit stores on May 14th, 2012 on Plug Research.
