His demographic is the masses, and he shows it, writing about the daily problems of the Filipino everyman, the social injustice rampant in our current society, and even the horribly adverse effects of traffic. If there's one Filipino musician to open our eyes to social issues it's GLOC-9. "The secret to success in rap sa Pinas? It’s being real about everything." __B__I_O__G_R__A_P__H__Y_ POLLISCO used to write his songs while working in his family's sari-sari store where he grew up.He is the second child of four, his father was an OFW and his mother ran the store.. Pollisco started his career in the underground hip-hop scene with the gangsta rap group Death Threat. After releasing a few albums with them, they parted ways, and Pollisco made his debut with the self- titled ablum Gloc-9.

His father being an overseas worker, his mother had the job of raising the whole family on her own. "My mother did that very well. Siya ang nagpalaki sa amin. Now that I have a family of my own, I really appreciate my mother all the more. Na- realized ko kung gaano kalaki ng sakripisyo at hirap na ginawa nila sa pagpapalaki nila sa amin. That’s why I always mention in interviews how forever thankful I am to them." He has two children one male, one female, both twins, born in November 2004., and recently finished studying Nursing at STI College-Fairview. "I've learned from my parents but I have my own diskarte. My twins are a boy and a girl, so magka-ibang diskarte ang pagpapalaki sa kanila. They are both musically-inclined.” _L_E__G___A__C__Y_____ AS OF YET, few Filipino artists are able to write songs pointing fingers at our current social issues and still make it to the mainstream. Gloc-9 is a first. His raps aren't happy because that's the point: to aim a finger at the current problems of our country and look them in the ey, not trying to turn away and pretend everything's alright. He doesn't wear bling, he doesn't do drugs, he doesn't drink, he's not into vices, he doesn't call himself famous. He doesn't identify himself as a rapper, because that's not what he set out to do. He's just another guy on the street who acknowledges the problems in our society, and is willing to open his eyes to it. And if we want to make our ntion better, we have to do the same, too. "...I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT I AM NOT YET FINISHED WITH THIS JOURNEY. KAPAG ALAM KO NA MALAPIT NA, THAT’S WHEN I WILL WRITE THE SONG OF MY LIFE.”.
