Los Angeles Native and C.E.O of Invictus Records Andre, Sheppard (Charlie x Major) is one of the few talked about underground rappers in Southern California. From the small success of his lyrical and current rapping style gave him the idea to launch a Mixtape, "The Abstract vol.1" with fellow promoters DJ PMT and J Mistro that was a success among different blog sites and Mixtape hosting sites. Success is in his future as far as songwriting for others in different geners of music and launching of Mixtapes, and eventually the dropping of his first studio album.
