I am a hip-hop artist from Cleveland Ohio. I started producing beats and writing songs at 16 years old. I grew up on the west-side of Cleveland, so I was always surrounded with hip-hop & rap music.
At a young age, I noticed that I would listen to music at a much deeper level than most people. I would notice every word, background vocals & ad-lib. I would pick up subtle instruments & bass-lines in the beat and single them out, just to reflect & think about the changes I would make.Band/artist history
I began writing and recording vocals with high school friends at the age of 16. After a while, I started using Fruity Loops to produce my own beats. I started working with Cleveland artists like Johnny Skillz, Hollywood (AKA Smurf), Rampage & more. I even started to build a little buzz around 2007 (with my release Compilation The Mixtape) and 2008 (with my release Break Budz Here). During this time, I was still trying to find myself. After my 2008 arrest, I found it harder and harder to continue creating music. Eventually, I found myself seriously addicted to drugs and unable to follow my dreams with music. After multiple drug & alcohol educational classes, a three month stay at a halfway-house and house arrest, I knew I was in the worst shape I have ever been in. I struggled everyday until early 2013, when I finally gave up and agreed to go to a detox program. Since that day, I could feel my dreams and ambitions rushing back to me. I have found the true me, and music waited all these years. Im back.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have never played live. Im hoping to start in the near future.
Your musical influences
Artists such as Tech N9ne, Hopsin, Vinnie Paz, Rittz, Twiztid, Twisted insane, Eminem & more.What equipment do you use?
Fruity Loops Studio, Condenser Microphone, 8 Track Mixer, Adobe Audition.Anything else?
I am committed to bring something new, fresh and overall different to the table. I am NOT the average rapper. I do NOT have a bunch of money, bitches & chains. I think the best hip-hop is a story that you can relate to. If you give me a chance & take a listen, I promise I will give you my soul in every song I write.
