Blando Bandz, a Detroit-born, Phoenix-raised rapper, began recording music before turning 10, inspired by his cousin O'Shea. His mother's relocation to Kansas City separated him from his family and studio resources, but he continued writing songs and freestyling. In high school, he met Deezy Billz, who helped him record, perform, and network under the stage name "Wayne Wayne". However, Blando's 2018 arrest and Deezy's subsequent death forced him to navigate solo. In prison, he rebranded as Blando Bandz, his music reflecting his struggles and promoting resilience. He's collaborated with artists like OMB Peezy and Slatt Zy, and has opened for K Camp, Peezy, YN Jay, Shordie Shordie, Snap Dogg, Lil Maru, Fenix Flexin, EBK Young Joc, and many more talented artists. His unique and inspiring sound, coupled with his commitment, has garnered him a dedicated fanbase of "Cold SteppAZ".
