His parents wanted him to be the best at whatever he decided to do. Trying to follow his parents business skills he started a few little business ventures of his own. He was selling toys and clothes to his friends and understanding how business works. After wards his parents got a CD-burner and he began copying, mixing and selling CD’s and that’s when all hell broke loose. He was selling CD’s faster than the local record shop. All of the local DJ’s and all of his friends was buying his mix CD’s. He was selling around a hundred a week at $5.00 a CD. He knew how to make money. Then he figured out how to create his own music using Cakewalk and started his own rap group. This was the beginning of something that he could never let go of. With his group they learned to write and rhyme all with his composed music. They would practice in his parent’s office after business hours. With the help of his parents they traveled to many southern Music conferences trying to be heard by Major record labels. Being he was only in the six grade and had won a lot of talent shows going to the conferences and not getting any deals was not enough to stop him. The group split after being together for a couple of years but still remained friends.

Now solo he began working hard on his producing skills. His parents upgraded his equipment and introduced him to an up and coming producer Street Symphony also a friend and producer from Atlanta, Noah Craig. After Listening to them, his music began to grow. After a while everyone in his hometown wanted to rap on his tracks. After discussing it with his father and trying to convince him that he was really serious about being a producer, his father and a friend converted an office into a recording studio for his birthday. But the deal was, he had to run it as a business and sell the music he was creating. By this time he was working with Nuendo and looking at pro-Tools. At 14 his father forced him to use Pro-Tools to do all of his recording.

Since he already knew how to use pro-Tools getting a certificate in music technology was easy to obtain.
