Darryal Nickson, also known as "B.A.D" represents his music perfectly with style and swagger to back up any claims made to the fullest. The first mixtape, "I Am Music Vol. 1", is the riveting introduction showcasing the talents of an already locally established artist with great features, allowing the listeners to see that B.A.D is music, and music is B.A.D from top to bottom. Seeming like a new artist fresh on the scene, B.A.D has a musical style that is as unique as it is completely versatile to bring a refreshing feeling to the listeners. Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, B.A.D not only sang in the church choir, but also the school choir as well as doing talent shows, music has been a focal point from the start. Having moved to Killeen, Texas at the age of fourteen, B.A.D started to carve out his notch in the music he wanted to do. Moving from not only doing music, but creating beats also, the talent shown was one of a true lyricist. B.A.D Explains, "Music has always been a part of me, I started at the age of seven with singing and doing talent shows, I knew this is what I wanted to do and have been chasing my dream ever since.".
