Born: July 15, 1988

Birthplace: Rochester, New York

Born in Rochester New York as Bryant Fuehrer, Theonlyone was raised there from 1988 to 1996, which is when he moved to Albion. After a tough divorce in 1994, his father and mother both went their ways, leaving the kids to be passed between them. Occasionally, Theonlyone and his brother Eric would go to his dad's house, where they would spend some time with him. In 1999, his dad moved down to Charlotte North Carolina with his girlfriend, which would turn into his wife four years later. His mother, on the other hand, married in 2000, to Theonlyone's step-dad. His utter hate for his step-dad is one of the reasons that he began to even listen to rap. The first ever real rap he heard was Eminem's Slim Shady LP. After that, he bacame addicted to rap. The way the words flowed over the beats, the way the bass would time in perfectly with the rhyme, it was to a point of almost obsession. He listened to every track that he could. The way an MC could become big with such little effort boggled him though. He wanted to make it big, and to be more then a one hit wonder. Picking up every Tupac album he could, he settled that the way that Tupac rhymed was going to be a template for his own. He began spitting verses in the summer of 2003, at the age of 15. Then, in the summer of 2004, he found out something. He picked up an album from an underground MC, known as Immortal Technique. This made his perspective change on the rap game as a whole. He began to rap a whole new way, with more feeling and effort then he had heard previous MC's use. He was determined to become a great, whether people followed or not, he was going to get his message out there. He vowed to himself and to God, that he would stop at absolutly nothing to get his voice and his heart out to everyone who cared. Also, he began to find God. He followed his Catholic beliefs and began to pray more often, for others and himself. He became very close to God and he began involving him into some of his raps. Then, in the summer of 2004, he found devistating news about a girl that was very close to him. She had a disease and could die at anytime. This made his whole world change. And so, he began to vigouresly work on his album to make release. And thus, he is where he is now.
