From the darkest corners of his life, NYCE has managed to triumph over them all and blaze to the top as a self-made success! Nicholas Knerr a.k.a., NYCE, (pronounced nice), was born in Anaheim, CA on November 9th. No one could have imagined the gifts this young mc would someday share with the world. NYCE’s mother abandoned him at nine months old, leaving his grandmother to care for him. As life sometimes throws curve balls at us, his grandmother, Patricia Anne Robinson, passed away when NYCE was only five years old. His father was in his life, but stability forced NYCE to have to live with his Aunt, Betty Robinson, who did a fantastic job rearing him to be the man he is today.

 His first taste of hip hop music was at age 8 when his cousins sneaked him in their room and showed him Eminem’s “Slim Shady LP”, released under Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Web Records. That album sold 283,000 copies in its opening week, with “My Name Is”, as the first official single. The album made Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003. When NYCE saw what Eminem was doing, his spirit co-signed his belief that he could be a successful rapper as well. Talking about finding inspiration, NYCE did that.

 At ten years old NYCE met Tremaine Turner, one of the CEO’s of Slapp Maker Productions, in Los Angeles, CA. Tremaine Turner became NYCE’s mentor and manager. Their friendship would expand far beyond that of a professional relationship. Turner became a huge influence on NYCE as more of a father/big brother figure. He kept NYCE focused and grounded while also becoming NYCE role model. NYCE accredits his success to much of the relationship he and Turner established over the years. NYCE often times reflect on one of his fondest memories of Turner buying him his favorite treats of fudge and Oreo freezes from Kelley’s Coffee. Moments that made NYCE the humble person he is today.

 It wasn’t long into NYCE’s pursuit of his dreams that a car accident would leave him with a broken femur, which he accredits for his talents as a Graffiti artist. During the weeks that kept him off his feet, not only did he perfect his craft as a Graffiti artist but he found a new inspiration for music through the likes of 2Pac, Nas, Immortal, Technique, Common, Kanye West and other various Midwest and east coast artist. He even found a love for R&B and Soul listening to R. Kelly and John Legend whom both inspired him to write his very first love song, “I Just Gotta Know”.

 In late 2010 to early 2011 NYCE was once again faced with a terrible fate. He was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms begin with paralysis, weakness beginning in the feet and hands and migrating towards the trunk. It can cause life-threatening complications, mainly if the breathing muscles are affected or if there is dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Guillain–Barré syndrome disease is rare, about 1–2 cases per 100,000 people per year, but is one of the leading causes of acute non-trauma-related paralysis in the world. This disease took over NYCE’s body, eventually resulting in full body paralyzes. NYCE lay in a hospital bed not even able to smile for over three months. After his release from the hospital, he then had to undergo physical and speech therapy due to the illness leaving him unable to walk, talk, or speak. But NYCE had the determination and will to overcome his circumstances and with the help of those around him that shared compassion and a will to care, as well as, belief in NYCE, a new man transformed.

 Today he’s a head turner at Nebul Music Inc., producing music, which he accredits Andy Alberto Almenderez for taking NYCE under his wing. With his first completed mixtape, “Head in the Clouds” and two more on the way, NYCE and his manager Tremaine Turner, are a dual team not to be reckon with!

 Throughout NYCE’s life, adversity has seemed to follow him on every corner in his journey in the music industry. But because of his love for music and the un-denying determination to become a great success, NYCE is sought to be one of the greatest rap artist of our time.
