I am 24 years old born on January 27th of 1992 in Illinois. I started making music at the age of 8. As a kid I bounced around from project housing to project housing. The streets had a hold on me up until the age of 18. When i had my first daughter that is when I started to take my craft more seriously. At the age of 19 me and my family experienced a chain of tragic events. Which caused me to lose everything that I worked hard for; Music videos etc. Being down on my luck didn't break me but only gave me motivation to be more successful. Shortly after that I met a well-known man in my city. He offered to manage me and I took it. He gave me more connections than I could ever dream of. About a year later, I met an artists that was once signed to Soulja Boy's record label, SODMG. He gave me the opportunity to take my career to the next level. Inviting me to New York to record in his studio and meet other artists like him. After leaving New York and returning to my hometown I ended up in the mists of some negativity which resulted in being shot and hospitalized. Also losing several of my close friends and family members to either death or the penitentiary. Months later, I was charged with felony possession of a firearm. Once I got out of jail I realized that something had to change. I left the streets alone and now I am on a positive track. Taking myself and art as serious as possible. I just dropped my second mixtape called "Cold World" hosted by DJ Trap-a-holics. I released my first video to my single "BIG MAD" off of my mixtape a few months ago. Currently I am staying out of the streets and in the studio working hard to be the star I know I have the potential to become soon.
