Meet The ARTIST

---

I started making personal mixtapes where you would pick whatever songs you wanted on your mixtape and I would put them together and create your own personal mixtape. What happen was I stepped into a music recording studio and fell in love with recording & engineering, but I quickly learn that this was a real grimy business especially for artists trying to come up that don't have crazy funds at their disposalsI  so I created a label that was able to help myself and others get their music out there so in 2009 I opened up my music label, but like I said this is a very grimy business and I quickly learned you can't help everybody, but I still try because no one ever gave me a shot.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York where I earned my street cred real young and developed a passion for music at a very young age because it was my escape from the dysfunctional family I came from. The first 3 things I learned was how to take care of myself, drugs, & violence which kind of ran in the same circle. By the early 80's I was shot and shot at several times to where one put me in a wheelchair and almost ended my life, but my love for the streets was so deep that once I got out of the wheelchair I was back on the streets like nothing had happened and when you don't change your path your destiny will always be the same. I kept wilding on these streets, but in 1986 I met someone who would come and change my life even though it took many years later. See because to this very day I still got love for these streets, but I also learned that today's streets don't respect the street rules so in 2009 I open up my first music recording studio and I also became an artist under the same label. by 2011 I was already getting booked for shows in small spots but I wasn't mad because I was finally getting paid to do something I had been doing for free since 2009. 2012 comes in and around January 14th I lose my eye sight due to retina detachments so everything stops, but thanks to new technology & surgeries late in 2013 I got my vision back. Early 2014 I get my first single up on iTunes and 27 other online music stores, but then came contract disputes where I did all the work but everyone one else was getting paid and that went on until 2017 and by then I had a grandson and he took up most of my free time and he's what kept me from going back in these streets because I got bills to pay and people to take care of and I'm a man first I don't make excuses I make it happen. It's something my grandfather taught me and I never forgot it. 2020 come around I'm working on music again then March 2020 Covid-19 hits and yes I get hit with it, but beat it but not without it causing some damage so in August 2020 I have a massive heart attack come to find out all 4 arteries to my heart were blocked 100% to where the blood was now seeping in my stomach so I needed a emergency bypass and they did and yes I agreed with the doctors "I should be dead" but I'm not. By November 2020 I'm power walking 3 miles a day so things are starting to look good again. so now I'm focused on music and I'm focused on getting better and anyone that writes knows that a writer never stops writing and a creator never stops creating. February 2, 2021 I go for my morning walk and the only way I can explain it is my foot just snapped and on April 23, 2021 I lost my foot. so fast forward to 2024 after a lengthly recovery and learning how to walk again I never gave up on my dream because a wise man once told me "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins which one are you?" So I hope you like my music as much as I like making it and thank you for your support.
