Shomori Pass was born in the heart of Los Angeles to two Thai immigrants who split up when he was 6. This forced him to bounce back & forth from foster homes to his schoolmates’ sympathetic parents’ homes until whom he calls Momma Maryum accepted him into her family. At age 14, he escaped self destruction by visiting the home of childhood friend ’99 U.S. DMC Champ DJ P-Trix. The two spent hours a day scratching & rhyming over instrumentals. 2 years later when he met Jah Skillz freestyling at Hollywood’s Universal City Walk he decided to start writing rhymes due mostly to her schooling. His writing reflected on a change of environment as he moved to North Long Beach due to his sister’s acceptance into Devry University of Long Beach. This era in his life built an underground notice capped even with a famed cipher at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles of Gower with Shyhiem the Rugged Child. Shomori Pass then, was really born.
While during studio sessions at the home of Robin Thicke, Shomori met & eventually joined Fo’Life later to be renamed Elseworld. During his time with them, he collaborated with Down aka Kilo on his 1st album entitled “My 40 Ounce.” All the while Shomori developed great music business knowledge from South African business executive Andre Charles who then was the Director of A & R for Yab Yum Entertainment where Elseworld was based. Knowledge in which he applied in completing his 1st solo album in 2001 entitled “ From tha Far East.” The album generated so much hype that the title track of the album caught the attention of Mopreme Shakur (brother of late great Tupac Shakur) and the two became friends instantly. Hip Hop seemed a great distance away while on a trip to Thailand but it lead to a chance meeting with Hydro Phonics & the two established 4DUB where they were prospected as one of the most talented if not one of the best Hip Hop groups in Asia. Now solo, his upcoming album is one of the most highly anticipated albums in Asia and making it with Real Talk Rhymes, and artists right here and now with Prey Productions and the whole crew(coming soon AUSD a movement with USD, Alive Not Dead and Prey Productions Inc.)..Taking it all back Now..!
