My Name Phora Research Paper
My Hero .
My hero’s real Name is Marcos Archer, but he goes by his Rapper Name Phora. The reason
why he is my hero varies, but mainly it was because he helped go through several situations.
These situations were involved in my family and out in the streets, which was hard to get out
of but eventually he helped me to learn how to understand a lot of things and to make the best
out of it and do better. It meant a lot at the time because not one single person in my family
couldn’t get to me, or couldn’t try and talk to me to try and refocus my mind in what matter
most, my life.
Phora is was born on October 13, 1994 in Anaheim,CA. He Grew up with a little sister, Mary.
His dad had left them when he was 3 years …show more content…
old, his mom, sister and himself grew up in the
streets of Anaheim, CA.
As a kid he like to play sports like basketball and football, until he hurt
his ankle. He was injured for a while and couldn’t play sports. After his injury he started
Escobar 2
to sing and rap, it was a constant thing. After about 2 years he finally decided that he wanted to
work in the music industry. At that point he had started to work and play with instruments and
dj-ing equipment. He had been selling little demos at his middle school and thats when his
music career got serious. When it came to friends he only had 2, real names Anthony Ramos (aka
Anthro Beats) and Freddy J. (aka Self-Provoked). Till this day they are all still close, and help each
other with their music lives. They’ve been friends since middle school years. He attended Orangeview
Middle School and later went to Magnolia High School; eventually he dropped out to pursue his music
career.
Some of his achievements involve being in music and school related things. He won not that long ago, a
chance to open up for Kendrick Lamar, at one of his concerts. This was back in January of this year; A
nomination on BET, nominating for best Upcoming Rapper or Artist. Phora Was the most
nominated
which won him the chance to open up for Kendrick.
The Reason why he is my hero is because he is different with me. He understood me at my worst, he
took his time to try and understand me when I wouldn’t open up to ANYONE. The ONLY person that
tried his hardest till he knew. Phora was with me every step of the way; the moment when i lost the most
important person in my life. On July 22, 2010, my dad died of a seizure. The only person i would open
Escobar 3
up to had left me; my family wouldn’t even try to talk to me, they thought i was mental. It hurt me the
most when they just left me at that and didn’t even bother talking or interacting with me. When i met
Phora he was calming and understanding, just when i thought nobody knew how i felt here he comes.
Phora helped me with not only my life but with my music too.He showed me how to deal with my
feelings and inner thoughts by simply writing a poem or song or lyric to let it out. That you don’t need to
be violent , fierce or aggressive, you don’t have to hold in everything . Till this day he still helps me with
my music, and I’m super grateful for that. He eventually helped me so much that i was a changed person
by my birthday of 2012, he literally helped me change my ways of thinking, talking, behaving, and much
more; for that I’m thankful for him in my life.
