Well I was brought up on my fathers’ side, in a Jamaican house, but
in Alexandria, Va. Sacramento on Route One Richmond Highway, to be
exact. My grandparents are the primary parents I’d like to believe,
given that my parents had to get that money for me. I’d say that in my
dads’ teens, he starting djing at public events through out the dmv,
just locally nothing too big. But he use to keep the table set in the
basement, and while he was at work I’d search and explore. I found a
lot, I learned a lot. Not to mention growing up with a mother as lively,
animated, and is as passionately in love with Good, soulful music as
any other. Going back and forth between those two houses gave me a lot
of different aspects and angles to view life through music.
My favorite rapper coming up was Andre 3000 of Outkast since the time I snuck into my uncles’ bedroom when he was not around, and stole the Stankonia CD. Truthfully, ever since then, I always wanted to rap or sing, make music whatever. I mean of course there were other legendary artists and bands that would influence me; like Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Mos Def, Common, Tupac, Biggie, Pun, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, Ludacris, The Roots, Missy Elliot, ect… The list Can go on.
