Born in Erie, Pennsylvania at young age and ever since , I have always been a pheen for pristine audio. I was the youngest child burning mix cds on Lime-wire swear to yinz. My mother insisted that I took piano until I detoured thinking I was going to be in the NFL thus my walkman, guitar hero and def jam rapstar kept the audio bug in my ear. After moving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and back forth between there and Philadelphia. At age twelve I began rapping (me being a child didn’t know you couldn’t cover rap songs lmao) so I posted a YouTube clip rapping to the great <a href="spotify:artist:1b5fazYV5ecKkQHKTlwLG8" data-name="Bishop Nehru">Bishop Nehru</a> and my parents saw it a week later made me delete. (Although at the time I pretended to not keep up writing raps) by age 15, I had hundreds of poems all just in my phone or loose leaf. I continued on the path of NCAA football dreams how ever still was a pheen. I eventually upgraded my equipment, learned how to record myself, engineer records, and never put down my pen and mic. Along the way I have met some incredibly talented lifelong friends that became my music family. I hope to turn you into a true friend.
