He was born in a small city in Wisconsin called Racine. Nobody ever made it out of there with music so he always took it seriously so he could put on for the city and move his mom out. He started making music when he was eight years old. He used to freestyle and record on cassette tapes with his older brothers for hours. In high school, he started actually making songs and posted them on Youtube and SoundCloud. He started really growing a buzz with a dance song I made called “Shake” It had over 10k views on SoundCloud within months. He used to perform it all over the city at parties and that’s how my name got around more. One of his older brothers got killed when he was around 15 years old and it put him in a different mode. He was the one who first showed Nino how to actually record a song on a microphone. He used to write songs all day and Nino seen that passion he put into it. I started to have that same passion. He left the city by himself and moved to Florida where he started releasing official projects and creating visuals. That’s when he changed his name from Young Nino to Nino Bandz. That’s when he started a different sound that was unique to his life. It was many times he wanted to give up. Losing friends, and family issues weighed on him but he never let it show. He used to think if he didn’t get a certain amount of views he wasn’t good enough. The fans and people who listen to him every day is what kept him going.
