The name is Manuel A. Ortiz, but the alias is Sparatic "The Messiah". Born July 17th, 1992. I'm one of many local artists in the 805 coming from Santa Paula. I'm passionate with the music I make and live all of what I say. I'm willing to work with almost any serious artist for FREE. I have my own home-built studio in which I write, record, and engineer my own (as well as various other artists') music. I do not make my own beats. Along with R.A.Y.C.E., we book & manage our own concerts from time to time. As far as content goes, I keep to only which I have personal knowledge on. So at times I may be conceptually limited, validity and authenticity are undeniable. I am always growing and adjusting so every release will be different than the last. I live and vent through my words so just know that there's more than meets the eyes and ears, so don't be afraid to get to know the artist you know as SPARATIC.
