Never knowing there was a such thing as Hip-Hop/Rap music until he turned 10 years old. He went to the house of a friend's one day after school and his friend put in a CD and the next thing that came out of the speakers blew his mind. It was like being able to see for the first time in life. A rebirth. He began collecting every Hip-Hop/Rap album he came in contact with. His knowlege base growing, He realized that this music was going to be a bigger part of his life than he ever thought.

At the age of 15 he began crafting instrumentals in the genres of Hip-Hop, Rap and R&B. For the next 5 years, his style went through multiple changes. Each of which completely altered his direction. In that time he began thinking about getting into the vocal aspect of the production process. Eventualy, at age 20, he decided that it was time to get serious about his business in the industry. Purchasing equipment so that he could produce instrumentals in his own home. He made a push and began perfecting his skills as a producer.

Soon after that was when he made the decision to switch gears and start getting into the industry as an artist and not just a producer. Ever since the switch, he hasn't touched an instrumental, he took pursuit of songwriting and never looked back. And now at age 21, he has been getting into anything and everything he can sink his vocals in.

He soon met Somebody Famous from Minnesota Famous Names. Opening many doors for his career as an artist. The list of collaboration artists is growing and now getting plays on internet radio shows. Keep on watch as he's got a few big plans up his sleeve...
Why this name?
He's from Minnesota, self-described Sota Boi.
And it's the land of 10,000 lakes.
There's water everywhere around here.
Sota Water just came to find him,
and when something sticks... It sticks.
Do you play live?
Yes. Email SotaWater@gmail.com for information and booking.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's easier to get your music heard.
But harder to make money for the big industry cats.
Good vs. Evil. But he's all for it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends...
Your influences?
Mostly just the mood he's in. What's on his mind.
Also his surroundings have a great deal to do with
the feel of his songs and what he writes about.
As far as musical influences, he listens to almost everybody.
North, South, East, West, AND the Midwest.
