60 East Bio:
Born in Southern CA on April 1, 1989, Jose Atilano, formerly known as A.M.I.T.S.,60 was introduced to music and the business at a young age. Older brother, DJ Metric (Dim Mak), gave him a taste of the life and 60 was more than happy to learn. Under the guidance of Metric, 60 got a glimpse at what it really takes to gain notoriety and recognition in such a competitive and hard business. As time progressed and 60 started taking what he learned and applied it to his own music, he began to take steps that would help define the rest of his journey through music. After releasing his mixtape under his previous alias "The A.M.I.T.S. Mixtape Vol.1" in December of 2009 he caught the attention of First Dirt based out of Sacramento, CA. Shortly after, 60 went on the Trojan Horse Promo Tour with Timothy Rhyme which made stops up and down California and ended at both of the Rock The Bells festivals, where he was given backstage access and met legends in hip hop. 60 has excelled at a rate that’s rare in this industry.
