Before Fame

He wanted to be a rapper since he was 8 years old, but didn't pursue music until age 19. Inspired by meme rap in 2019, he began to create comedic music.  After releasing "Don't Cut Yourself" in the summer of 2024, he went viral on UT Austin's campus for making meme music and incorporating American Sign Language into his dances.
