These poor choices in-turn led to a few run-ins with the law. He used these experiences to express to the world what he was feeling.
After 5 years of interning at Source Magazine and receiving the guidance from it’s resourceful executives about the ins and outs of the industry Chipz has taken this knowledge along with the encouragement from sales and has stayed in the studio perfecting his craft.
