Singer, songwriter, and engineer Yawdy Quan, is a Jamaican artiste born raised in St. Catherine, Jamaica in a city called Portmore. At a young age, Quan became heavily inspired by dancehall and old school dancehall. At the age of 8 years old he wrote his first song and at the age of 15, he began to engineer his own music. His family relocated to Miami, Florida in 2006. As a teenager in high school, Quan began to DJ and throw his own Jamaican parties. Influenced by the American culture, it sparked his interest in hip hop music. While hosting and DJing these parties, he began to notice the darkness in the music that was being played. He wanted to change the way music was, which led him to create his own. Being raised by a single mother, her struggle motivated him to push forward with it. Through many trial and error, his pursuit for music never stopped. In 2013, he had an encounter with Jesus Christ that has forever changed him. The following year, he traveled to Jamaica, which pulled him back to his roots and found that he was torn between hip hop and reggae/dancehall. As of now, his goal is to give the youth better music and morals that they can grow with by incorporating both genres artistically.
