Born in Oakland California raised in Hayward California. Both cities are located on the east side of the Bay Area. Mar TheMan always had a passion for music since he was a baby back when his father used to always play mainly local artists such as Too-short and E-40 at a loud volume with 3 15in. Speakers in the back of his van. With that influence as he grew older he began watching shows like 106 &park, Mtvjams and bet awards. Eventually all of this lead to him writing his first 16 bars at the age of 13.
