Philadelphia, PA, USA

Michael "OG Law" Ta'Bon is a Philadelphian born to blind parents, yet has been blessed with vision beyond his circumstances. He first picked up a pencil at four years old and began to draw as a hobby that turned into a survival mechanism when he was sent to prison. While in prison, Michael took the first steps into becoming a thought leader, developing programs while on the inside to help people get out and stay out; and to help prevent youth from going into prison in the first place. He found through years of study that music, art, and drama are the most effective ways to breakdown communication barriers, and build relationships that enable him to reach the youth. In 2017 he appeared in the critically acclaimed, award winning short film "The Cage" which led to a featured role in "Concrete Cowboys" starring Idris Elba. Ta'Bon currently resides in Philadelphia where he continues to draw, act, create music, and is heavily involved in social justice activism.
