He was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and raised primarily in the northwest community of Ranchlands.

As a producer he has made beats for numerous Canadian artists and recorded albums for DFE and Cam the Wizzard. As a DJ, he has hosted programs on CJSW for over 20 years, starting with a jazz program before moving into hip hop. He hosts the station’s flagship hip hop show “Mental Illness”, going on for two hours every Sunday afternoon. He has also promoted many underground hip hop shows in Calgary.
