Profane

Gerardo Antonio Campos Jr.,better known in the music world as Profane,is an American Hip Hop artist,clothing designer,and public figure in his community.Born Oct 21'st 1989 in Granada Hills,California to Morena & Gerardo Campos Sr.,two hardworking Salvadoran immigrants who fled war in their home country of El Salvador in the mid 1970's,whom later became citizens of the United States.

Gerardo's love for Hip Hop and art was a seed planted at a young age,by the community and surroundings that revolved around him in the harsh neighborhood of Pacoima,California,a sub sector in the San Fernando Valley.Gangs,drugs and crime were a reality for many adolescent kids,including Profane,who at a tender age fell in love with the Hip Hop element of graffiti and it's rebel vibe.In 2001,Fane and his family migrated to the Mojave Desert,to the city of Las Vegas,Nevada in the neighborhood of Charleston Heights,where young Profane grew and experienced life as he knows it.His musical career began at the end of his high school years,where he began to participate in local rap battles with some ending in victories and others in defeat.Slowly transitioning from battle rapper to musical artist,he began opening for acts such as Phora,R.A the Rugged Man,Skyzoo,and Young Drummer boy,among others.Creating music that fans love and putting together holiday charity events for his community garnered him the respect and loyalty of a solid fanbase.
