THE DJ (DANCEHALL SINGER) IS THE 1ST FOR HIS MOTHER AND SECOND FOR HIS FATHER; HE HAS 4 BROTHERS AND 4 SISTERS. HE GREW UP IN THE HUMBLE COMMUNITY OF GORDON TOWN WHERE HE LIVED WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER. LIVING WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER HE SAID WAS ENJOYABLE BECAUSE SHE TOOK GREAT CARE OF HIM AND SAW TO IT THAT ALL OF HIS NEEDS WERE MET. THE DJ GRANDMOTHER WAS VERY PROTECTIVE AND DIDNT LIKE FOR HIM TO LEAVE THE HOUSE UNSUPERVISED, BUT THIS DIDNT STOP THE DJ FROM SNEAKING OUT AT TIMES TO LISTEN SOUND SYSTEM PLAYING IN HIS NEIGHBOURHOOD.AT THE AGE OF 9 THE DJ FOUND INTEREST IN DANCEHALL MUSIC AND WOULD OFTEN RESIGHT NURSERY RHYMES IN DANCEHALL MELODIES. IN HIGH SCHOOL THE DJ SPENT A LOT OF HIS TIME WORKING ON HIS CRAFT (DEE JAYING) AND WOULD PARTICIPATE IN WHATEVER MUSIC ACTIVITIES THAT TOOK PLACE AT SCHOOL. HE WAS LATER INSPIRED BY A OLDER COUSIN TO PERSUE A MUSIC CAREER.IN 1999 THE DJ DID HIS FIRST RECORDING WHILE STILL IN SCHOOL. HE RECORDED HERBALIST FOR GUERILLA MUSIC PRODUCTIONS, THE PRODUCER HOWEVER FAILED TO RELEASE THE YOUNG DJ FIRST EFFORT. THIS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR HIM AND LED HIM TO REFRAIN FROM VOICING FOR ANY OTHER PRODUCER. DURING THIS TIME RAW DEAL WOULD STILL DO TALENT SHOW WHERE HE HAS CAME OUT ON TOP MAJORITY OF TIMES. ALL THE GLORY THE DJ WAS GETTING AT THESE SHOW GAVE HIM THE INSPIRATION TO CONTINUE RECORDING.IN LATE 2002 HE RECORDED "CANON" WHICH WAS FEATURED ON CODE RED SMOKED OUT VOL. 3 PRODUCED BY SUPA HYPE. IN THE SAME YEAR THE DJ MET AKILIBOY OF BYG FAMILY MUSIK AFTER A STAGE SHOW IN THE STAND PIPE COMMUNITY IN KINGSTON 6 JAMAICA.
