Getting to Know Anilyst

Dusty liquor stores, backyard low-riders, and an overwhelming ‘underdog’ spirit. That’s Fresno, California. And Fresno was the breeding ground for Anilyst, who’s real name is Sayef (Seff). It’s where he found his voice, honed his craft, and laid his foundation.

Over the past few years, he’s self-released numerous full length albums and mixtapes, while managing to amass over 23+ Million YouTube views, Millions of Spotify plays, and the ‘LYST’ goes on and on..

Anilyst’s fan base has been a rabid and steadily growing one, and he’s literally built it all through his ingenious use of street campaigning, social media, and, most importantly, unwavering raw talent.

He’s graced the stages with acts such as Tech N9ne, YG, E40, and many more. All this in addition to gracing the pages of XXL Magazine & seeing the fruits of his labor propel his albums into the Top 50 Charts on iTunes.

Mario Ordaz is a math teacher at Sequoia Middle School; an inner city school serving low income and single parent households in Fresno California. In this episode, we touch on his struggles throughout his childhood; from using candles for lights when the electricity was out to bouncing from school to school and never having a stable home. Through all of the struggles, he still managed to be the first in his family to get his high school diploma, go on to college and obtain his teaching degree. He explains how seeing the struggles his older siblings faced by not having their high school diploma and working very trying jobs, was the driving force to finish his schooling and get a good stable career. Mario also breaks down how he is able to help kids today, who are going through many of the same struggles he faced when he was their age. He touches on the impact of family support and the huge impact it has on today's kids.
