Growing up in St. Pete, Two’s uncles owned six record stores, including Jam-A-Lot Music. Two spent his hours at the music stores when he wasn’t working at the restaurant. “It was like my escape from reality. I could just walk in, put on headphones, go to another world.” He played in his middle school band, and by the time he was attending the University of Central Florida, he was spending hours in libraries and books stores studying and researching everything related to the musical craft and business while also interning at KDS Studios in Orlando. “I met an engineer by the name of Tommie Hicks, Jr., who brought me under his wing and really showed me the ropes. From there, I began making songs and uploading them on MySpace and then YouTube … anyway I could get my music heard on the internet. I was exhausting all avenues.”
