Cleveland Ohio is where UL was born and raised but certainly not where he discovered his talents. He embarked upon his ability to sing while in prison as he had been convicted of burglary. He was a troubled youth suffering from the side effects of anger towards his parents who had abused him severely. He seized the moment to get out of the inherent lifestyle that his family had passed on to him by accepting a one way ticket to the warmest place that he could findFlorida. Living in Florida had its ups and downs. The up part was that he no longer was being abused; the down part was that he couldnt find a job and had no transportation to get around. What was he to do in such a situation? He stole basic living necessities, and slept on the beach until he began to feel as though he could no longer spiritually survive living the way that he was living. At the age of 18 UL turned himself in to the police only to find that an all white jury sentenced him to 20 years in prison. When UL saw the prison cell close in the front of his face and heard the jolting lock echo in back of his ear drums, life for him became oh so real, and he had to make do with any necessity that could help keep him sane.
A perfect stranger gave UL a guitar and that was the most rewarding encounter that could have ever happened to him. He began playing the guitar in the prison band room where he also graduated to keys, drums, and other sophisticated instruments. I was out before I got out. And indeed he was.
Music gave UL the ability to relieve his anger; and when the anger left, God stepped into his life and revealed to him that he would be a successful bumbling ball of fire ready to share his story with the world. Shortly after his revelation and 10 years into his prison term, a guard walked up to him and told him that he had to leave, for his time was served.Band/artist history
