Born and raised in the inner city of Philadelphia is where it all began, and i would learn the harsh reality's of life at a young age. Everything from being poor to simply getting my ass whooped for being the wrong color where i lived. As times changed though so did the surroundings, and it wasnt long before the real journey started. Philly was getting worse and being the oldest of 12, my family decided it was time to leave the only home i knew. And so we did... moving straight from the inner city to the country...and i do mean country! Needless to say i didnt like it, and it was a culture shock, but little did i know the gift i was being given to see life from two totally different spectrums. The only problem was i wouldnt see that gift until years later...
I was always to smart for my own good, and i learned to question authority at a young age. I always felt this need inside me to fight for something...the only problem was i had no direction. Eventually i got wrapped up in drugs and crime, and got schooled to the rules of the game. I spent alot of years in what i considered a fog of liquor and weed smoke...not to mention the counless numbers of run-ins with the cops. To make matters worse... at that time i didnt give a f*ck whether i died or i lived to be honest. Then i met a woman who would forever change the way i seen things, and teach me how to feel again. Although it would be a long time before i would change my ways, this woman would forever change the direction i was moving.
Four years would soon pass,and I learned the most important lesson of my life when she broke my heart. Even though she made me see things different...she could never make me different ! And because i didnt change she left, and sh*t i couldn't blame her. But through those years with her is where my life really changed. It was at that time that i first started to write, and that coupled with my obession with music its only natural that i would start to to do my own stuff. It was at this time that i would start to save myself. I never wanted to be a musician i just couldnt figure out how to calm the voices in my head or the demons in my spirit. Writing started to become the only way i could breathe, and eventually the only thing that saved me....
