Mexican American David Rolas, son of a Durango born mother and a father from Jalisco, worked his way into the upper echelons of Los Angeles hip hop community. He has been puting in work at one of the hottest radio station in Los Angeles, Latino 96.3FM. Hailing from South Central L.A., David Rolas is a Mexican American whose experience is similar to thousands of young Latinos with Mexican parents (mother from Durango, father from Jalisco), who grow up absorbing several cultures, the Mexican at home and the American in school. While simultaneously absorbing a hybrid culture in the streets of the Angeleno metropolis, in which the new urban sound of hip hop was bred. While at home he listened to regional Mexican music and whileon the streets he nodded his head to the rythm of Hip Hop. David was a witness to the birth of the hip hop culture in his surroundings, which, influenced him to get involved in the scene. After finishing high school, David focused his attention to his other interest of becoming a DJ. "For me, hip hop music was an inspiration to do something with my life, helping me avoid getting into desmadre, it helped me do something positive with my life." David's visibility was such that he began to receive invitations to DJ at Los Angeles and Hollywood clubs. His skills behind the turntables made him became one of the most important and sought after DJs in the L.A Club scene. Known as Dave Jams, he displayed an ability to work the crowds and hip hop fans, regardless of their racial origin. As a Latino, he won over some hard to please African American crowds. In my beginnings as a DJ, a promoter hired me for a club whose clientele very selective of their taste in music, they wanted 100% hip hop. Thanks to his experience as a DJ, David has met many key people inside the world of hip hop. He has befriended people like DJ Evil E (Ice T's DJ), Mellow Man Ace, Chino XL, Crooked I, Big Sloan of MoThugs, Layzie Bone and Sir Jinx, among others. Parallel to his DJ career, David belonged to various underground hip hop groups, like Brotherhood Movement, which had a single deal with Solar Records in the early nineties and a song called "Out of The Ashes" that was produced by world renowned producer Johnny "J" who at that time had already started working with artists such as 2PAC. "I liked belonging to a group, but I was very involved with my DJ gigs, so we would record mostly for fun, I didnt have the time to commit to a group 100%," says David. David Rolas musical quest lies in his pursuit for the purist incorporation of Latin and Urban music. His hooks are catchy, yet playful, creative, memorable and most importantly true to their respective roots. His flow is on point and his beats have enough energy and creativity to stand on their own. Throughout his career David Rolas has believed that music is “not only inspirational but triumphant in the sense that it can touch the hearts of millions of people.” On his third album titled “Mi Mundo” David Rolas set forth with one goal in mind, to showcase the cultural mosaic that lies within the West Coast Hip-Hop music scene by uniting some of the leading recording artists in the industry such as: Taboo of The Black Eyed Peas, Ozomatli, Akwid, Malverde, Tea Time Of Los Tetas, Sekreto of Caballeros De Plan G, and Leon of Mexiclan amongst others. Now on his fourth album, David Rolas is digging deep into his DJ roots. He is now an Independent artist. Partnering up with a long time friend, Robert Gallardo, they have managed to start his own label and production company. New Label, New Record, A roll in the up and coming movie CRANK 2 from Lakeshore Entertainment, David seems to be a new man. The new album is entitled “A New Beginning (Un Nuevo Comienso).” David has sought the production skills of a roster of TOP up and coming producers such as the Latin Grammy winning duo Guary Y Cleyton.
