Arnoldo Torres, best known as Young Quicks, was born and raised in Oxnard, California. His parents taught him that perseverance is the key to success, and that is what has brought Young Quicks to the top.

At a very young age (13) he started writing poetry but it was not until he was starting high school that he realized his love for music. Noticing that poetry was not fulfilling his desires, Young Quicks began to compose songs to entertain others by telling his own stories about the struggle and life. At the beginning he promoted himself, and sold homemade CD’s of his music to friends, and classmates. He had such an amazing acceptance, that they started spreading the word and before he realized it he was performing at high schools, opening major concerts for artists such as Dj Quik, Bonethugsnharmony, David Banner, Nelly, Lil Rob, and more to even headlining his own club events.

After a lot of hard work and various presentations Quicks decided to be independent again and incorporate his own corporation called “Street Talent Ent. LLC” , and on April 2009 he released his first street album titled” Stop Jock’n My Swag” followed by “I Am Steet Talent Vol.1” which was released in 2010.
