Dominique "PhreshMann" Smith(March 30,1990) 
 Born And Rasied In Philadelphia Pa, In The 90s... Where Hiphop And R&B Was At Its Prime.... Da PhreshMann's Love For Music Developed At A Young Age, Started With Being part of the Choirs And Playing Instruments In Grade School. 
 The Credit For His Creativity Would Be Giving To His Two Grandmothers, They Both Wrote Poetry And Were Fans Of Great Music. With That Being Said, Phresh Was Always Around Some Type Of Entertainment For The Ears. Between The Two, Phresh Was Exposed To A Great Mixture Of Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire, Teddy Pendergrass. And Music From Different Cultures. Grandma Sharon Helped Phresh Understand There Is Great Music Everywhere. She Also Created A Great Impact In His Life On Behalf She Was A Poet, Publisher, And Entrepreneur. Her Success And Ambition Is What Modavates Phresh In His Journey. 
 The Credit for His Love for Hiphop Would Go To His Older Brother and his Father. Every Morning Would Start With Either Run DMC, Jay-z, OutKast, Mos Def, Nas, Busta Or Em. Listening To Them So Much He Would Find His Making Attemps To Spit His Own 16s At The End Of Every Song. This Is How Writing Started. 
 High School is What Put The Icen On The Cake. Witnessing Other Individuals Like Him Self Helped Give Him The Urgency To Deliver But His Confidents Wasnt There Yet. So He Just Continued To Write And Practice. It Took Some Time, But Senior Year Was Around The Time People Knew He Had Some Type Of Skill. Confidents Began To Build. He Began Freestyling And Recording It On His Mp3 Player And Playing It For Friends. With Many Feeling His Skills He Knew He Had Some Type Of Talent. 
 It Wasnt Till After High School, Phresh Got A Chance To Experiance A Stupid Recording Session. That Feeling Is What Really Proved To Him That He Was Passionate In Music. 
 After Years Of Practicing Writimg, And A Year Of Getting Familar With Being In The Booth, He Decided The Time Is Now.
