Born Danny Chung and raised in Philadelphia, Decipher experienced more ups and downs in his youth than many go through in a life time. To call his family broken would be a huge understatement. Conceived by a woman he would grow up calling “aunt” and a man that may have fathered him but was never a father, his biological mother was left with no choice but to give him up to be raised by her sister. In addition to all the family drama came financial struggles as well. He saw first hand how hard his immigrant parents struggled for that slice of American Pie as they worked their way out of the ghetto only to find the taste was fleeting and bittersweet. Incidentally, his newfound life of hard-earned luxury wasn’t meant to last. It appeared lady luck held a grudge against the Chung clan, and before you could say ‘Good Life’ it was straight back to the ‘Hood Life’ for them all.
Despite the tumultuous drama and turmoil, Decipher was able to find the one thing that remained steady in his life. Thanks to an uncle that moonlighted as a party DJ, he got his first introduction to a music that served as the voice for a people that needed to be heard because no one else could speak for them. Young Decipher had discovered Hip-Hop. The renaissance of this genre in the early 90’s served as the aural back drop that shaped and inspired him to understand the power of true honest expression. It wasn’t too long before he realized that the very voices blaring through the headphones of his walkman weren’t just those of the musical artists; they were also his voice.
