Every Sunday morning, millions of people wake up and head to church to hear a preacher praising a higher being. Now the streets have their own preacher to listen to. Born Martin Estevez (pronounced Mar-teen) to Columbian and White parents but given the rap name “Preach” by a friend because he “spoke like a preacher whenever he was passionate about something” Preach’s voice and lyrics evoke emotions for the masses.
Though constantly on the move as an adolescent Preach has always called the city he was born in Richmond, CA, home. Raised between the values of a strong Latin family and the rough streets of Richmond Preach attained the balance needed to survive in a city that is notorious for crime and hustling. He grew up making the common mistakes of the young and misguided but always managed to stay focused on two things; his love for money and most of all his love for music.
Preach turned to his love for music and money to follow a career path that would set his mind free from the everyday struggle of the streets. He started rapping at age 12.
At 18 he decided to take rap seriously and focus on his dream. He signed his first deal with an independent label out of Oakland Ca. Straight Hits Entertainment.
In 2003 Preach instantly generated a buzz from the “Bay Area Playas 5” compilation when his first single “Bad Misses,” debuted on Wild 94.9 th most popular radio station in San Francisco. The song quickly started to gain momentum and was featured on the stations Top 7 requested songs of the day for an entire month. “Bad Misses” also received spins in Miami Hawaii, Texas, and other states.
After a few years with Straight Hits Preach decided to part ways with the label and is now concentrating on his debut album “From AM to PM,” on his own Preach On It Entertainment.
“From AM to PM,” features what Preach likes to call “pain rain, and gain.” It’s everything you would expect from a street savvy veteran; conscious issues pimping, partying, and hustling. With production from some of the hottest up-and-coming producers like Cho Boogie Cloud 9, the Network, Omen, Gennessee, Maxwel Smart, Ricky “R&B” Brown, and Bay Area veterans like EA-Ski and Sam Bostic “From AM to PM,” is destined to be a sure fire hit. For Preach the title of the album serves a double meaning. It fits the everyday hustle that he is on and symbolizes the difference between day and night or the two sides to his life; good and bad street and business.
Comparing himself to no other rapper Preach is a one of a kind lyricist with his own versatile smooth, clever, and witty style. His style shines through on his first underground single “2nd 2 None,” produced by Cho Boogie. The concept of the ground breaking single sums up what Preach is all about: being real a leader, motivated, confident, intelligent, outspoken, a teacher, a hustler, and of course a pimp.
In his 26 years of life Preach has over come many obstacles. All the while he has managed to stay focused on his dreams and is well on his way to making a name for himself in the music industry – Preach on playa.
“Life is what you make of it. You can’t expect for things to just happen unless you make them happen! If you don’t have goals and determination it’s easy to lose focus and waste your life away doing nothing.” - Preach
