Beacon Light was born in Grand Rapids, MI. He went to a Christian school at a young age, but upon High School, experience some family problems and turned away from God. He sought drugs, alcohol, and sex to sooth his pain, but the pain could not be soothed by those things. One day, after realizing his life was going no where, he cried out to God. God came in and changed Beacon, from the inside out. He then started making music for the Lord in 2006. Prior to that he had grown in his lyrical ability, but never really put it to use.
