In the music industry, the path from obscurity to stardom is a difficult one. In order to achieve that coveted spot on top of the charts, an artist needs to overcome numerous obstacles and barriers that come their way, including adversity. From combating writer's block and beat making challenges to dealing with major labels and being at the helm of a fast-paced life, many people have tried before Sebastian Lupe Fiasco has. One day he came home from work at a clothing boutique in West Hollywood with a piece of tattooed skin on his arm – his first battle scar from an altercation with one of his co-workers over some unwanted criticism. Though it wasn't the best day of the month for him, it was certainly his biggest turning point - not because of the incident itself but for inspirational reasons. He says, "At the time I was working at a clothing store and one of my co-workers would constantly bash me up. It got to the point where he pushed me too far and I actually attacked him. That's when I got my first battle scar - that's when I decided to be an artist." The 22-year-old Filipino American has all the attributes needed to make it in the industry – charisma, good looks, wit and charm – but he had always shunned opportunities like these before because of self-doubt. In fact, what he thought he had was the inability to do anything further with his musical talents. Sebastian, whose birth name is Sebastian Arcelo Lupe Fiasco, was born in Chicago on February around the late 70's. He is of African American descent from his father's side and Filipino from maternal ancestry. His father, a former member of a rock band who toured with a popular Filipino singer, moved to Los Angeles when Sebastian was only two years old. His mother soon followed suit so they could start a new life together in California while leaving behind some additional family members in Chicago. His father, who now works as a lawyer, says his son has always had a gift for music. "Sebastian knew by the age of two how to play the piano and drums. He was really talented. He liked music so much that he wanted to pursue it as a career even before he started school." Then one day everything changed - not for Sebastian but his father. During the 1980s, there were many burglaries around their neighborhood in North Hills and one day his parents' home was broken into. His parents survived but his sister, then just sixteen years old, was raped and murdered by an intruder who got away with cash and other valuable items from their house. It was a tragic incident that left an enormous scar in Sebastian's life. The incident made him feel helpless, ashamed and inferior the same way his sister did when she realized how much she meant to people in her life. He became indifferent to music and started to live a fast-paced lifestyle doing many things at once. At the age of 15, he dropped out of high school in order to further pursue his musical career. Lupe Fiasco was signed to Atlantic Records in early 1999 when he was only 17 years old.
