His mother Brenda worked for a company, Serena Fashions aka BELLISSIMA. His father Mark used to work for one of the biggest newspapers, The Province. Currently, his dad is retired and his mom is a full-time accountant who also manages Merkules.
He fell in love with hip hop from a young age and was studying in the 2nd grade. Growing up he was influenced by rappers like 50 Cent, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Drake. But the first tape he ever owned was the XZIBIT’s “Restless.” So he began rapping and covered the entire verses over his favorite songs.
