ETCETERA Biography
ETCETERA native of Brooklyn New York began, first hit the scene in 2000 working with one of the industry's platinum acclaimed producers Kwame’. He continued on to become a dynamic artist/writer. Later he added an arsenal of new successful producers such as Domingo, Young Seff, Jlace and Around One Productions to his personal projects, as well as his writing and producing for other artists.   
During this time ETCETERA has made the transition from independent artist to a major label entertainer. His first two singles in 2008 "Take U There" and "Dance Like That" catapulted him into the mainstream pop/urban culture. The follow up “OMG” (Throw Ya Handz Up) brought back his hip hop roots that showed his fans another side of his talents.   
Outside of being an artist, he spends his time investing and developing the lives of young men and women who have athletic talents. In 2006, ETCETERA formed TEAM IDOL a philanthropic arm of IDOL MUSIC GROUP (IMG) a boutique marketing company, which allows him to give back to his community by breaking athletic stereotypes. 
“I was one of the many African-American kids who became a success story because of the recreational programs provided to kids, by the city of New York, and I think that this made me a better person,” says ETCETERA. 
TEAM IDOL became the moniker of a movement determined to help keep one young man in school by sponsoring him in his skateboard venture. Today, TEAM IDOL has now developed into an athletic division that co-sponsors and co-manages athletes in the areas of skateboarding and female basketball, for now. 
“I believe that if you develop character, self-esteem, assertiveness and humility, this will make for an exceptional and effective athlete,” says ETCETERA. 
ETCETERA was recently awarded with the 2010 Young, Gifted & Black (YGB) Entrepreneurial Award for his impact in the community by helping many young men and women excel in the area of sports and academics, who ultimately became success stories in Brooklyn, NY. 
ETCETERA was also presented a proclamation by Senator Eric Adams of New York City for his involvement in youth development, as well as his participation in the projected project development of a skate park in Prospect Park in New York City.
