Early on a young Kastro demonstrated his love for entertainment by performing for family members, growing up in a home filled with music fueled Kastro’s passion. At the Age of 12 he began writing, Freestyling, and developing his craft.



Kastro’s Style is based on hip hop roots, socially conscious, what is consider underground. He has had air play on several college radio stations and has featured on some local mainstream stations as well. Aside from radio he has also received recognition from the internet as an electrifying MC on the rise.

Thanks to the support of fans, barbershops, and mom& pop stores through out the New England area.


Kastro’s Future Aspirations are to help in the development of Roxbury through the education of children and adults alike.
