Dok's unusual style was inspired by both children's authors (Dr. Seuss) and hardcore rappers (Sticky Fingaz of Onyx). He was born in Philly and has since spent his life there trying to find his way. While in 3rd grade he began writing political satire short stories about the then current President Clinton, as well as VP Gore, Speaker Gingrich, etc. based on stories he heard on the news or he read out of his parents' Time and Newsweek magazines. Dok continued his fiction writing along with his poetry through high school when he began recording and performing poetry. He has been fortunate enough to make a name for himself enough that he was invited to perform for two of different Philly Mayors at private functions. Aside from music though, life wasn't always fun. Dok found out at 14 that he would soon become a father. By eighteen, he had two kids and had been kicked out of one of the best high school's in the nation. However, he wasn't ready to give in. He has become the best father, son, employee, MC, person he can be while he still hopes for his chance in the spotlight.
