My name is Adán Gabriel Rangel, more commonly known as SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE. I’m a Xicanx Hip Hop Artist, Producer, Spoken Word Poet, & Social Justice Educator. My work exhibits an unrelenting commitment to craft, innovation, and community. I have made a life of creating art through the lenses of identity, history, and culture. I tell stories that people can see themselves in, relate to, be challenged by, and aspire to. Lesser known is my work as a visual artist, photographer, and more recently, film writer/director.
As an artist I’ve defied medium and expectation. I’ve developed and exercised my voice to create something beyond the status quo; something honest, purposeful, and inspired. I’ve written on topics ranging from my father’s immigrant experience, the philosophy of hip hop as a tool for community organizing, folk stories, the supernatural, and science fiction. While an artist first, I have primarily made a name for myself as a Spoken Word poet and Hip Hop artist. I've continued to stretch the bounds of these genres; working with classical composers, deejays, a wide array of musicians, dancers, visual artists, and more.
I'm an artist pushing the bounds of genre from a unique and marginalized identity perspective. I speak to individuals and communities targeted by white supremacy that are actively seeking tools and models for liberation through organizing, activism, education, and art. My work addresses a range of relevant issues that are brought to life more vividly through video production. In the past, I’ve had limited opportunities to produce and direct music videos. More than ever before, I am prepared to imagine and execute a creative vision that unifies my musical, poetic, and visual art.
Help me continue doing the work I've committed my life to, that it may continue to educate, motivate, and assist in the development of our communities. Thanks for your time and camaraderie.
