I WAS BROUGHT UP IN SOUTH ALABAMA. I OFTEN TURNED TO MUSIC TO EASE MY MIND FROM EVERYDAY STRUGGLES. AS SOON AS I GRADUATED IN 2000, I MOVED TO MY FAVORITE PLACE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA TO START A JOB AND COLLEGE. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE MY COLLEGE EDUCATION. NEVERTHELESS, I ABSORBED A VAST AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE. IN MAKING MUSIC YOU HAVE TO PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO DETAIL, BE PATIENT, OPEN-MINDED, AND MOST OF ALL BE PERSISTENT. THESE TRAITS, OVER THE YEARS HAVE, BECOME THE STANDARD IN EVERYTHING I DO IN LIFE.I TRANSFORMED FROM A BOY INTO A MAN IN ATLANTA. I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN, THROUGH HUSTLING, WORKING AND NETWORKING. SINCE MOVING TO ATLANTA, IVE MET MANY PEOPLE, AND HAVE BECOME MORE OPEN-MINDED AND INTELLECTUAL. ADVERSELY, IVE BEEN IN SITUATIONS THAT THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD BUCKLE DOWN UNDER. HOWEVER, IN A WAY IM GLAD BECAUSE IT MADE ME VERY STRONG PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. LUCKILY I NETWORKED WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND WAS PERSISTENT ENOUGH TO OBTAIN AN INTERNSHIP WITH STANKONIA RECORDING, PARTLY OWNED BY ANDRE BENJAMIN AND ANTWAN PATTON OF "OUTKAST". I MADE SEVERAL CONNECTIONS AND LEARNED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WHILE WORKING THERE. I ALONG WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE, MADE A TRACK FOR PURPLE RIBBON RECORDS (FORMERLY AQUEMINI RECORDS) UPCOMING ARTISTS, "KONKRETE", FEATURING "BACKBONE". I ALSO PRODUCE FOR ARTISTS SUCH AS "TYTE WURK", "R-U-NUTZ" AND FORMER UNIVERSAL/RAP-A-LOT RECORDING ARTIST'S "DIRTY".
