I am a aspiring rapper/singer/songwriter/musician/producer from New Jersey. I was introduced to and learned to appreciate music at a very early age. Being the ingenious child I was, I despised the constructed music lessons because I felt as if there was no freedom in my creativity. That's when I started experimenting and my passion for music suddenly became profound and I was plunged into an entirely different universe of sounds I didn't think I was capable of creating. Without this, I don’t think I would've ever been able to compose music, let alone come up with melodies.

Trying to balance your life and music is definitely a circus act that needs re-adjusting every now and then. I've often found myself struggling for the most part of my musical "career." These struggles have proved to be beneficial by making my skin a little thicker, testing my ambition and granting me experience which, in the end, is all that really matters. During these struggles, I've always felt as if I was swimming against the current, but I was persistent (hence my name was deprived) and refused to give up or sell myself short because the reward is ALWAYS worth the struggle.

Although alot of my music fits into the hip-hop/R&B category, I'm always willing to try something new and step out of my comfort zone. With that being said, I'm continually on the lookout for artists to collab with, no matter the genre. Both positive and negative feedback is encouraged, especially the negative, because there's nothing like a little constructive criticism. Thank you for your support.
