A performance full of energy, great music, and a chill vibe. Be ready to have great time with me.

I was born in East, Texas grew up in the Marshall area with my mom and grandma. My grandpa was a preacher at our church in Marshall and in the church I played the drums for our male chorus and choir. Music has always been a big part in my life besides sports. I have an uncle who can play the guitar and 2 more uncles who can play the drums I have 3 cousins who also play the drums another cousin who can rap/produce and I have a aunt that sing as well. I've played in front of many people when I was a kid. I started playing the drums around age 5 maybe but since a baby my grandma would tell me I've been beating on pots and pans until they bought me a drum set. At school I was always the one making the beats in the lunch line or table until the teacher would tell us to stop. In class I was always taping my pencils. As I got older the more I became interested in rapping and making beats. Around this time my cousin was in college making beats and raping I seen him doing it and it just made me want to do it more. He was fruity loops to make beats he had keyboard he used to make the beats with and he had let me borrow the keyboard for me to start making beats. So at age 12 is really when I started trying to make music. I had a old laptop with fruity loops and a key board trying to make beats. Soulja boy was my biggest idol and still is because he was using the same software and he was recording his own music to his own beat. So for the first 6 months I made beats like Soulja boy and started figuring out how to record using my karaoke machine and the mic. Somehow I made it work and the first song I ever recorded was a freestyle to "ain't I" I put the song on my MySpace page and everybody was liking it some didn't. Since then I used music just as a outlet when I was dealing with problems I learn how to write bars and come up with hooks and by then even make better sounding beats but now I mainly just do the raping side of it than producing I always wanted to do music but never thought I would have chance all through life people told me to do seriously but I didn't listen until I moved to Dallas 4 years ago and started honing my skills as an artist I would only drop songs here and there for people feed back I always got back positive feedback from people with my music. I grew up with just me and my mom moving from east Texas to austin Texas back to east Texas to now Dallas Texas. I always wanted to use music help better me my mom situation as a kid and even now. Music is the only thing that seems right in life and It took me graduating high school and going off to college to realize music is what I need to be doing in life and now I'm ready to take off.
