“i am so overcome with emotion. I hope Cory Rosen realizes how much this means to me. this is the first award i have ever accepted because i respect all the behind the scenes work he does for our local Lancaster music scene. people like him MAKE the music scene.

i have never gone on a podcast before because of my speech impediment! but his vibe is so kind & he shared his struggle with a similar disablility. i felt comfortable with my social anxiety. so i am literally i tears right now” – Benjamin Oaks

If there’s one word that describes Pedro’s music, it’s smooth. This is probably not by chance, however. You see, “Pedro Fresco” hails from Landenberg, PA. His distinct style is thus a reflection of his environment: the relentless bars represent the urban and the melodic cadence represents the rural aspects of Landenberg. Although he’s dabbled in rap for quite some time now, too, it’s only until recently that he’s fully committed himself to his craft. Pedro is currently working on this debut project entitled, “No Concept.”
