I DIDN'T CHOOSE MUSIC IT CHOSE ME. MUSIC IS MY PASSION AND I NEED IT, LIKE I NEED TO BREATH"

I WAS BORN IN DETROIT MI FEB 21 1980. I BEGAN TAKING RAP SERIOUSLY ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. BUT I HAVE BEEN WRITING MY WHOLE LIFE, NOT JUST MUSIC BUT SHORT STORIES. MY FAVORITE SUBJECT BESIDES GYM CLASS WAS ENGLISH. I JUST LOVE TO WRITE, I NEVER IMAGINED I'D BECOME A ARTIST OF MUSIC. BUT THROUGH THE WALKS OF LIFE, WHICH HAS NAVIGATED ME TO AMERICA'S FINEST CITY, SAN DIEGO CA, IT HAS BECOME MY DESTINY.
IN 1999 I CAME TO SAN DIEGO DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES DEALING WITH THE JUDICAL SYSTEM. SO RATHER THEN FACE INCARATION I JOINED THE NAVY. GOING TO JAIL WOULD HAVE PUT ME BACK 2 YEARS AND TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN.
THE NAVY WAS DIFFERENT.
IT TAUGHT ME ALOT ABOUT THE REAL WORLD, LIKE THE ONLY REASON I HAD TO SALUTE OFFICERS WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD DEGREE I VOWED, WHEN I GET OUT HONORABLE I WOULD GET A DEGREE. SO I GOT OUT AND RECIEVED AN AA DEGREE IN HEALTH SCIENCE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT MY DEGREE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE NAVY I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT MY DEGREE, I DIDN'T GET THAT PIECE OF PAPER FOR A CAREER I GOT IT BECAUSE PROPLE SAID I COULDN'T DO IT.
AND THAT DEFINES MY DRIVE TO BE SUCCSESSFUL IN EVERYTHING WHICH MAKES MY MUSIC SO SPECIAL. BEING FROM DETROIT I LOOK AT THE SUNSET AND THE CALIFORNIA COUNTRY SIDE AND I GET STUCK LOOKING. SEE A PERSON BORN IN CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN SEEING THAT THERE WHOLE LIFE I HAVEN'T SO THE WAY I EXPERIENCE THINGS ARE BETTER EXPLAINED IN MY MUSIC. WHEN SOME ONE HEARS MY SONG ABOUT CALIFORNIA THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL THE SUNSHINE COME OUT THERE SPEAKERS. BEING FROM ANOTHER PLACE AND REPING SAN DIEGO IS RARE BUT THERES ONLY ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT THAT,

I ALSO HAVE SONGS ABOUT ABORATION AND FAMILY LIFE. BEING ABLE TO WRITE MUSIC FOR MY MOTHERS GENERATION AND THE GENERATION YET TO COME IS WHAT SEPERATES ME FROM MY PEERS.
PEOPLE SAY THAT MY UNIQUE STYLE ALONG WITH MY STAND OUT STAGE PERFORMANCE MAKES ME ONE OF THE HOTTEST UNSIGNED TALENTS.
IT IS HARD AT FRIST TO GET ON BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS I WILL BE (GOD WILLING) A PLATFORM OF GREATNESS THAT CHANGED THE WAY MUSIC IS HEARD AND WRITTEN.
MEANWHILE I WILL CONTINUE TO PERFECT MY MUSIC, ALWAYS KNOWING THAT THE ABSOLUTE POWER THAT ARTIST POSSES IS TO CREATE TRENDS THROUGH MUSIC, REMEMBERING THAT NO MATTER WHAT MAY HAPPENS HISTORY WILL ASCERTAIN YOUR GREATNESS BY THE PEOPLE YOU TOUCH AND THE MESSAGE YOU LEAVE BEHIND"......
