Argentine rapper Valentin Oliva (aka Wos) combines elements of rap, rock, trap, and funk. His father was a musician and part of La Bomba de Tiempo and his mother was a dancer and part of El Diablo en la Boca. He studied piano and drums from a young age, as well as acting at the Escuela Metropolitana de Arte Dramático in Beunos Aires. He began as a freestyle battle rapper, participating in competitions from aged 15. After winning the battle rap world championship in 2018, he retired to make his own music. His debut track "Púrpura" arrived the same year, leading to his debut album, 2019's Caravana, which focused on themes of social protest drawn from his experience as a Civil Rights activist. He recorded and released an EP, Tres puntos suspensivos, during quarantine, and his second album, 2021's OSCURO ÉXTASIS, appeared in 2021. ~ Liam Martin
