At the age of 15 he started performing in various talent venues,(Freestyle Battles, River Front Shows, Festivals, Historical Leader Celebrations for M.L.K, Rosa Parks etc.)Ponce than began to create a buzz for himself within the Wheeling area. Then he began performing at clubs such as "Inferno" in Parkersburgh and "Club Dreamz" in Pittsburgh. After a while Ponce later began recording several original songs. After releasing a few underground mix-tapes he came to his first real Promo-tape sometime in the early April of 2009.This Promo Tape Was Hosted By G-unit/Shadyville (Young Carvelli). Ponce says "I'm now 19 soon to be 20, a college Sophmore, and I'm Incredibly good at what i do, and so when the tape dropped i titled it "Young & Gifted". Therefore, when my mix-tape drops i definateley plan on leaving my mark, and many more.

In 2008 Ponce moved on to joining a label called BittaSweet Records. Along with artist like Chance-E.D, Slick Watts, G-jax, and Major League Beats, the label seemed to be unstoppable. But each artist having different ideas and thoughts on how things are done led to ponce leaving the group, Ponce says " I've never had any help, everything i have i have on my own, I'm building and empire and I'm doing it by myself no matter how long it takes, so don't try to change the way i do things because you think your above me, because your really not" Ponce has produced and collaborated on several songs for various artist within the industry, and continues to stretch the boundaries of conventional music.
