- Developed a passion for music since before my drop in '87... Very young, about 7or 8 years old, I discovered a talent for and began writing / reciting poetry. This was aided by a naturally fluid approach, manner and flare in English Literacy. (Not many other subjects favored me ;) ) ...

Mixtapes:
- January 2010 – Evolution Forever Presents: The Green Light Mixtape - Independant

Experience:
Been pursuing a career in the music industry for thirteen years..

I began songwriting at twelve years of age and structuring a long-term plan with people who displayed the same interest and determination I had.
Along the journey a few of these people dispersed, displaying that they were not truly committed or cut out for the long road that was ahead of us.
But the people I expected to stick with what they said, came through.

The fact that people left, taking knockbacks and other obstacles only gave me more belief in what I do. The same belief helped me shrug off similar knockbacks and smash all obstacles head on.

I have worked with various artists, participated on a number of music courses and utilized many recording studios across the North-West.

My music revolves around my life living on a council estate, my aspirations, aims, struggles, strives, experiences and hardships.
I've always had a passion and love for music since I was very young and take influence from everything I listen to.
My taste in music varies due to a large family who all love music in the same way I do.

Not only was music a love of mine, it also gave me an outlet to creatively express myself from a young age. Music also deterred me from a life that a lot of people I grew up with and a lot of my friends live...

Self-taught with the music production programmes that I use when I engineer my music.
