He has phased into a hip-hop/r&b artist who has been involved with music since the age of six.

He recorded his first track, "Life Changes" in 2009 using his grandmother's computer which lead to his grandparents buying him studio equipment. In 2010 he began performing live with his then rap group, "Smash Crew" which years later became "Ready Gang Or Step". He is revered for his ability to move a crowd with his fun and energetic music.
