"oH Oh! Ish Gyea Boi Baby Twinkiez!" Benjamin G. Khatt, nicknamed Baby Twinkiez, was born on October 2, 1989 in Oklahoma City, OK. Life for his family was filled with struggles and drama during the first three years when he was borned. Parents had to work long hours and had little time on their hands to take care of Twinkiez. He was raised by his grandparents instead. In 1992 the Khatt family moved to Worthington, MN where he was raised in a more wealthier neighborhood since his parents have found the jobs they were interested in with good pay. Music was passed on to him from his father's side of the family; his father was in a rock band in Oklahoma City. By the age of six, Twinkiez learned how to practice his vocals by singing karokee. From then on he strived to achieve reputation during his elementary school years. He wasn't gettin an audience at that time except for one special person and his family. Twinkiez's grandma has helped him walkthrough each and every step on the path way toward his music career. When he reached the middle school, the audience started to understand what he was trying to achieve and they respected his goal. Once working as a freestyle artist, he picked up a mic and started music with the group OCT (Outta Control Talent). They made their first appearance at Worthington Auditorium's Annual Winter Talent show in 2004. Their hit song "Goodbye" influence all of the young lovers within the town. Being impressed by the works of the artists, they were supported to make a cd album which released in Spring 2005. In Summer 2006, the group had been divided due to schedules and individual goals, the musicians had the experiences from the steps it takes and still is being climbed on now.
As the years gone by, his skills as a hip/hop artist increased significantly throughout his career. In 2004-2005 Twinkiez successfully delivered his first hit album "I'm Waiting". From that moment, he accomplished one of his goals as becoming a signed artist. Now in 2005-2006 he has just released his second album "Murdasoda".

At the Praire Winds Arts Festival in Summer 2006, Twinkiez started producing his own beats and performed "Wut It Do?" live at the festival. The beat consist of old school 80's rock instruments and synthesisers to create the up, catchy rhythm. First time as an actual producer, he decided to move a notch up into the DJ gigs and beat making added to his career.
