Raised in an ultrareligious cult, with his mother, A father who was an absent musician and a stepfather who abused, poisoned, and almost killed him. To say his life was traumatic is an understatement. His family fought hopeless poverty and substandard living conditions his whole childhood. Despite overwhelming odds, Raven managed to devote his life to his two passions, Music and Martial Arts. Raven's well-known reputation for a wild stage presence and thought-provoking lyrics earned him the title of the 90's Iggy Pop by Flash Magazine. Raven currently a 6th Degree Black Belt; in 1999 Raven began to do active work with the Guardian Angels.
