Born in Los Angeles, raised in both Los Angeles and San Diego California, Cristina "VISION" Cardona aka "VISIONCOMPLEX THE OFFICIAL FEMALE EMCEE.. who with years in the musical game and plenty of dues paid has earned that name again and again...To hear Vision or to see her perform, one can truly feel why she is deserving of the title. Like many of us, childhood for Vision was everything but easy. Soon after she was born, her father Xavier would pass on... leaving Vision's mother to raise Vision and her older brother alone. The three of them would live close to poverty for the majority of Vision's childhood...Living in rough areas as a child and moving constantly through out her adolescence gave Vision a chance to see things that most people would not normally be exposed to, the pains of the world.. During that time at the age of 6 Vision grew very fond of soul music, looking back on those times today, she says' she understands why she was so drawn to the greats (Marvin Gaye/Tina Turner) because the pain in which they sang she could relate to. Eventually Vision's family would pull out of poverty but the images and all that her family had gone through in the earlier years left a heavy impression on Vision's heart. Life at that point for Vision could have taken a very different turn, do to all that she endured at a young age but she had a strong desire to prove that no matter what we as people have been through, no matter where we come from, we can still survive and overcome what we feel is holding us back...and that desire would come out years later in the form of music... At the age of 11, Vision's brother BIG E bought his first keyboard and started producing beats, from that day on, Vision found and pursued her calling... she began rapping and combining her singing talents and deep heartfelt street lyrics to create her own soulful sound. Vision's music, every song, every beat, and every word is dedicated to those caught in the struggle. All on her own Vision created a company and a movement. She was one of the very 1st underground Hispanic female rappers on the WestCoast... She has constantly toured and performed for thousands of fans.
