My story in entertainment didn’t start in a studio it started in real life. Brooklyn raised me, California shaped me, and the journey in between gave me the voice I rap with today. I came up during an era where you had to earn your respect, not buy it. No shortcuts, no overnight success.

I started out writing, recording, and building my sound from scratch. Later I stepped into radio with Unapologetic Radio New York, which opened doors and connected me with artists, producers, and industry people. From there, I expanded into acting, landing a role in Foster Sin (Season 3), and continued developing my brand, my catalog, and my presence across platforms.

Nothing about my path was easy but every setback sharpened me. Every lane I’m in now music, acting, radio, artist development came from consistency, reinvention, and staying true to who I am.

My influences come from the greats the ones who told the truth in their music. Brooklyn legends, West Coast storytellers, Southern innovators, and artists who built their own lanes.

But I’m also influenced by real life: family history, learning from the experiences around me, the culture I grew up in, and the people I’ve lost or learned from. I’m standing on the shoulders of artists who weren’t afraid to be raw, honest, and original. I carry that same responsibility in my work.
