He has been singing since the age of 5 yrs. old, in the church choir. At the age of 14, he expanded his talents by rapping and singing with a local rap group called K.I.G (Keep It Gangsta). K.I.G helped him realize his passion for music. He loves to write his own songs as well as perform them. Being able to do this set him up for two unpublished albums with K.I.G.
