Band/artist history
Love for music started at 9 years of age. Started at first as a desire to join Grandpa's mariachi band because I didn't listen to Hip-Hop when I was 9. After a trip to Mexico, I took band (don't judge) & learned to play simple songs withj the trumpet. After elementary school, I started to listen to Hip-Hop while I walked home from middle school. In freshman year, I decided to pursue a rap career, going by the alias No-Kid, & would freestyle to songs that I would hear on the radio. Also met Jigsaw for the first time & almost made a group with him. During summer, the beef started, then died down. Beginning of middle school, beef re-ignited & also met D-Styles, bacc then known as Shane Dizzle. Was going to be in a Warren G diss, but that never took place & beef started. Junior year, bought my first mic, a basic computer mic that I still use (haven't upgraded yet) & recorded my first song, Wacc Rappers (D-Styles Diss). Also released my first mixtape on March 6, 2009, on the streets & on the net. Senior year, working on "Tha Mixtape Volume 2 - Eighteen," ended beef with Jigsaw & D-Styles (whether they want to or not), & also recorded multiple covers using Antares Auto-Tune.Have you performed in front of an audience?SO far, I haven't had the chance to perform live. I have done a couple of rap battles but that's been at my school & wasn't really public. I've also done mini-performances for people in the apartment complex where I live.
