TONY B. CONSCIOUS (aka ANTHONY BROWN) was born in Seattle, Washington as the first of three children.  He has been an exceptional communicator every since he became able to speak and write.  As a youth, he was noted as an extremely prolific student whose favorite subjects were History and Creative Writing.  He was presented with several achievement awards and certificates as well as numerous trophies and plaques based upon his ability to convey his thoughts, ideas and dreams through the use of words.

     As a teen,  he was completely turned off by the school system and thier blatantly one-sided cirriculum that glorrified EUROPEAN conquest and taught nothing about the prestige, achievements, civilizations, talents and or culture of  AFRICA, AFRICAN PEOPLE nor their decendants.  So subsequently, he started skipping school and hanging with the brothas and sistahs from the street. 

     Trouble soon followed and he found himself in Juvinile Detention Centers from any where between 30 days to 6 months at a time. It was here that he was able to truly perfect his writing skills, while  reading and studying the subjects that most interested him (AFRICAN & AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY).  This is also where he was first introduced to hip-hop and rap. He would listen to the other brothas’ writings and formulate his own knowledge, opinions and observations into rap lyrics, poems and songs that he could easily remember and recite at a moment’s notice.  This made him very popular amongst his peers and the counselors. His words oftentimes would rehabilitate, educate and motivate others to take action in thier lives.

     Soon after he was released and relenquished from probation, he started writing raps’ with and for the local hip-hop groups in Seattle. This is where and when he recieved the name “R-O-M-E-O”, (Rappin’ On the Mic Every Opportunity). He was known for always having an innovative rap to say about being BLAK in America, Lovin’ the women or battlin’ other emcees.

     In the early ninties, he was led by spirit from Seattle to Los Angeles, California. It was here that he was first introduced to “SPOKEN-WORD POETRY”, “HOLLYWOOD” and was very sucessful in networking his way into several movies such as “HIGHER LEARNING”, “NAKED GUN 33 1/3”,  “SOUL OF THE GAME” and “LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME”.  He has also been featured on several television shows, such as:  “TOWNSEND TELEVISION”, “IN THE HOUSE”, “MARTIN” and “SLIDERS”.
