Born Donnel ST.Louis on July 17 1987 To Erline Forde (witch is now williams) and Don Forde (both born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago) in the lengendary Ceader Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Me and my family moved to Baytown Tx in 1989 for my dad being a welder in the refiner constrution field he was inserch of an new job. 
At the age of 7 my parents split up in a horrible devorice, which left my mom picking up two jobs and rasing me and my older sister by her self. That saying, "It takes a community to raise a child.".. I belive that it does, cause its been done. By the time i turned 13 I almost lost my mom and my dad in two different car accidents, my attitude changed a little bit, and I started doing things I should not of been doing being raised in Faith. As a kid my childhood was a little confusing, it was a normal childhood, but on the other hand I had some surpising incounters with the police and things I rather not talk about. Me being the only boy I had problems looking up to people and even asking for advise, Im not saying my mom wasnt there, but all mothers know its hard to raise a boy. Most of the friends I did make where way older then me and I was taught some morals or "STREET MORALS", But most my morals I got from my parents. 
I was raised in some apartments called SterlingBay on 4601 Quail Hollow Dr. I pass by everyday things changed for the better over there as well. Did all of my schooling in Baytown I went to Harlem and Pumphery Elementry, Gentry Jr High where I played Basketball and a little football, I took band and played the trumbone. I graduated in 2006 From Baytown Sterling High School where I played Basketball and ran Track. It was in highschool where I really started understanding how to write music. With Music running through my family tree from my dad, one of my aunts on both sides of the family, grandpa and even my sister, in 2004 I started to express my talents and by the years Ive got better.With a little studing I have taught myself how to produce (make my own beats) and enginer (record) my own music. After 3 hard years of grinding in my own house studio, starting group after group I felt like I was not getting anywhere and I wasnt being heard. I never had someone come back too tell me my cd or mix tape was not good. So I took that in consideration, and just did me. It was hard being a solo artist putting it all in with no help. Between on again off again jobs, and going back and forth to jail behind something that happen before graduation. I couldnt get any forward progress. 
Another year passed and I still had my choice of caree on what you would call the back burner. You know what they say, "Patience is the virtue!" Im truly starting to belive in that. 
I really try to make more then just Hip-Hop or Rap I MAKE music. I aim to make music that all people can enjoy, even if they cant speak my language they like the song because it makes them move. Music to me is a get away, a form of expression that can bring ME to a state of tranquility. And thats what I try to bring to the table. I had someone ask me, " Have you ever seen one of you cd's thrown on the ground after passing them out? How did that make you feel?" I seen the person throw it, I did nothing I picked it up and passed it right along with someone else. And I feel if someone throws my cd out their car, atleast they put it in the deck and heard me.
