Bio: The Don is rapidly making a name for himself as a gifted producer and a talented rap artist. Being a product of a bi-racial marriage, Plaiboi’s Jamaican Chinese descent kept him at the center of attention from an early age. Upon migrating from Spanish Town Jamaica at age 5 with his mother to Miami, Plaiboi was heavily involved in sports music, performing arts and just about anything that would allow him to display his talents amongst a crowd. At age 11 he was awarded the lead role as Tom Sawyer in a school play “Tom Sawyer†in which he stole an adult crowd with his innovative antics and ability to add creative ad-libs on the fly.

My 9th grade class was the first year they had 9th graders at the school.†I was so nervous, but once I stepped out on that stage and them lights flashed in my face right there I knew that this was what I was meant to do, and that is when Plaiboi was born,†said Plaiboi. The crowd’s reaction to Plaiboi’s duo performance to Naughty By Nature’s Hip Hop Hooray instrumental was outstanding. Although the crowd had no idea of who this young freshman was, their reaction to his performance was as if it was Naughty By Nature themselves performing.
