Biography
Early life and career
Cel-Man Iller was born in Detroit, Michigan born, DeAngilo Chester Anthony Willis to a single mother in a small household in the Metro Detroit area; with grandmother (Myra), grandfather (Chester), aunt (Sherrell), and an uncle (Carl). He was raised in Detroit, and currently still resides in said city. He began making music with the rap group X-Ponents in the early 2000s. Starting his musical development in his early middle school years, (at Roosevelt Middle School in Oak Park, Michigan) his uncle (through marriage) gave him his first music instrument, a bass guitar. Sparked with an interest in Jazz, he set out to start a Jazz band in his earlier years by joining his schools orchestra class in hopes of recruiting members with a said interest and love for the arts.
In his later high school years he took up electric guitar and built his own small, make-shift studio. Now attending schools in Southfield meeting new people, he came across local Detroit rappers Flame Tha Poet and Ice in which many collaberations were made. Making up the starting foundation of X-Ponents, Slim Lo used this time to get known around the local area as an instrumentalist and much lesser emcee, using his voice talents for mainly chorus hooks, and background add-libs. Sadly, in 2003 due to misunderstandings, Slim Lo took his leave from the group X-Ponents, though still helping the group with instrumentals. His first underground album, MalFunK-NatioN inspired him to go on an internal voyage to find the better emcee within himself. While working on lyrics he continued to make a series of instrumentals under the name of "Zakum 41", techno, trance, drum and bass, house, even continued to make some hip hop instrumentals.
He began focusing his works on making a collaberative group with Flame Tha Poet; Crimzon Ebuny. The group fell apart in late 2008. Cel decided to continue his work alone and came across many other rappers to work with while he improved his lyrics, Pyro Tha Maniac, Ether, ArmoKid, Sik Lib, etc...
In early 2009 he decided to take his cause to the streets and travel across the United States while gaining fans and improving, he titled this project "La Vagabundo" later on titled "Cel-Man Iller Project: Persona." Seeing how DeAngilo has so many hip hop persona, he used this project to give a better understanding of all of them indivisually.
Current Works
For 2010 Cel-Man began work on a Jazz album not yet titled. A fusion of hip-hop, jazz, and maybe some Drum and Bass works. Expected collaberations from artist like Freddie Hubbard, Dexter Gordon, Portishead, Madlib, Nujabes and many other instrumentals will be used in the demo.
Also the mcuh awaited hard-core rock/ Metal album entitled "MalFunk-Nation: Downfall" is also expected to drop in 2010.
Atrist Notes: "My jazz mix tape most likely won't be complete until late 2010 to 2011, though in the mean while my mix tape Infinity is close to being complete and has gone through a few changes, for the better I believe. The name is not Infinity anymore. The new title is Infinity Incomplete Institute Inc. a.k.a Quad I. With that being said I have already started more work on the jazz mix tape, now titled Sessions 1.0, than I have on MalFunK-NatioN: Downfall. Thus why I am not sure which will drop first. Believe me though, when I say I am working as hard and as fast as possible, it is true."
