Chicago‑bred. Purpose‑fueled.
Culture‑shaping creative.
Cesar V!sual Zamudio is a Chicago-bred hip-hop artist, educator, and entrepreneur who has spent 25 years turning boundless curiosity into culture-shifting work. Born on the city’s Northwest Side to hard-working Mexican immigrant parents—his father an auto-body mechanic and radio host, his mother a Cuban-Mexican housekeeper—he grew up where music and perseverance met every day. That origin story fuels the Iseeitall master brand, where he blends music, mindfulness, and social impact to help people see it all—and act on what matters.

Teaching Philosophy
V!sual grew up balancing being a good kid in a wild 80’s and 90’s Chicago. That dual lens anchors his pedagogy: use hip-hop and city culture to spark curiosity, then channel that curiosity into concrete skills that uplift students, schools, and neighborhoods.
Cesar V!sual Zamudio is a Chicago community builder who turns culture into practical support systems.
