Biography

Growing up in Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York during the 90s, Bobby was immersed in a plethora of musical inspiration - from his mother’s love of classic rock to his father’s affinity for disco, soul & Motown. It was his older brother Eric though who, aside from grunge & metal, introduced him to hip hop. 
 Bobby began his ascent into the industry at the young age of 13 when he met “The Rhythm” rapper Kwame, who at the time had begun his re-emergence in the industry as a producer. Bobby describes his time under Kwamé, who has since sold over 30 million records as a producer, as a period of artist development. “Kwamé saw something early on and just took me under his wing. He coached me on how to make the transition into making records.” 
 Ultimately, Bobby, whose sound and style are an ode to the era that birthed him, hopes his music can help inspire the imagination of new listeners. “I would like to be one of the artists of today that someone who is 11/12 years old that may just be getting into hip hop can look up to.”
