His interest in pursuing music didn’t manifest itself until he was 18 years old. The humble beginnings of a rising star began when Cesar booked his first studio session. He walked into the studio with no preparation, beat, or lyrics; however The lack of preparation would be no match for his artistic vision that was clearer than ever before.
