Growing up between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Miami, Florida, his most lucid and favorite memory dates back to when he discovered he could rap. “I got into rapping at 11-years old, that’s when I started picking my own music,” said the rapper.
“At 11, I fell in love with the sound.” He credits A$AP Rocky’s “F**kin Problems” with Drake, 2 Chainz, and Kendrick Lamar as the track that motivated him to pursue a career. Falling in love with the beat, he curiously began learning about finding beats through YouTube.
