Artist, Producer, and jack of many trades hailing from Northern, Va., Influenced by hip hop culture, the greats, street life, and everything that made me who I am. I've been open to innovation, creativity, and have come a long way from a Casio keyboard. I started rapping at age 8 and have always had an affinity for music. I had family who were DJing, such my Uncle, Terry "T-Sounds" Butler, my cousin, Cornell "Dj Quiet Assassin" Miller, and my step dad, Ronald "Ruff Dawg aka RD" Smith. I had another Uncle who rapped, going by the name of, Carlton "Kount Coolout" Grissom, who was a major influence as well. Another notable family member who helped shape my musical influences and taste, was my other Uncle, Mike "Schooner aka Ambassador of Crank" Gainey, as went spent countless hours listening to hip hop. I played alto saxophone as a youngster, and always tinkered on pianos and keyboards. Like I said, I've come a long way.
