The Evanston, Illinois native started recording at the age of 22, however his career really began with his early musical influences of notable artists NWA, Scarface, Rakim, Jay-Z, Tupac, and The Notorious B.I.G. Around the age of 7, his mother joined the U.S. Army, which required them to relocate frequently. Exposure to various cultures and places, like Missouri, Washington state, and Germany, enabled him toexpand his perspective of the world and further cultivate hisstyle and love for music.
