I’m 24 years old and I’m from Oak Hill, West Virginia. I go by the alias Bankai for my music, that’s an anime reference for those who don’t know. Music and art started inspiring me from a young age, my father was listening to Tupac, Eminem and various other groups/artists. I always felt the need to learn the lyrics and get them perfectly down to memory almost like practicing for touring with a set list! I was probably 6-7 years old giving a concert on my living room coffee table for my family, it’s always been a dream of mine! I started really trying to make music over the last year or so but I’ve started making music (if you could call it that) when I was 15. There’s probably still some pretty embarrassing songs out there from me sadly! But my goal is to make enough from music to give those I’m closest to the option for a much better life than I ever had, and also to help people feel like if I can do this then they can follow their respective dreams too whatever they may be!
