Before Fame

Before his interest in music was piqued, he played as a shooting guard on his local AAU basketball team. He enjoyed freestyling with his friends as a teenager, but it was some of the tragedies he witnessed while growing up in the Bronx that encouraged him to focus on a career path, and he began recording songs in 2018.
