Life and Career
Shadowyze relocated with his family to Pensacola, Florida at the age of eight. The big turning point in his career came after Shadowyze spent ten weeks in Central and South America and Mexico in 1998 where he witnessed the cruelty of the 'low intensity war', military oppression and poverty imposed upon the Mayan Indian population in Chiapas, Mexico which inspired his 1999 multi-single Murder in Our Backyard which was endorsed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams of Northern Ireland.

By the end of 1999 Shadowyze was signed by Tom Bee, CEO of the Grammy winning Native American record label Sound of America Records (SOAR).

Shadowyze has appeared on over a dozen compilations and released three full length albums; Spirit Warrior (2001), World of Illusions (2003), and his current 2005 release; the self-titled Shadowyze featuring Chicano rapper Baby Bash and production by Nashville’s Dj Dev of Devastating Music; production engineer of the triple platinum selling album 400 degrees by Juvenile and Happy Perez.

In 2004 Shadowyze appeared on the movie-score sound track of Sweet Potato Pie by Lions Gate Films, and produced by Carl Washington. And in 2005 his single, Stand up to the Gun was used as the theme song of the film La Migra (aka Murder on the Border) by Breakaway Films .

Shadowyze has supported the Mayan Indian Relief Fund and in 2005 attracted national attention by helping to organize and coordinate a Hurricane Katrina relief effort delivering several thousands of dollars worth of supplies to the Choctaw Indian Reservation in Philadelphia, Mississippi.

In 2005 Shadowyze won both the Native American Music Award for the song "Red Hawk Woman," executively produced by Felipe Rose of the Village People and the Pensacola, Florida Music Award for best hip-hop and has been the focus of several stories appearing in Rolling Stone, Vibe, XXL, Billboard, New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. Shadowyze was featured on the covers of Downlow Magazine, Native Network and Get’em Magazine.

Introduction

Business Incubation was introduced in the early 1960's, since that time the concept has developed from basic functions like the provision of facilities to the services of mentoring and funding for small businesses, thereby serving as a launchpad for new or ailing businesses.

==
Prosperator - The new term ==

The term PROSPERATOR coined by Allon Raiz is an all encompasing term that aims to explain a concept that picks up from where traditional incubation stop and takes the process to a new level.

In a PROSPERATED environment the focus shifts from the development of the business to the development of the entrepreneur.

Where a traditional Incubator provides an environment for the business i.e. Infrastructure and basic services a Prosperator includes development of thee entrepreneur through training, coaching and personal development.
