Biography

I rap and make beats to uplift. I was born and raised in Berkshire County, on the western edge of Massachusetts. There were very few examples of hip-hop artists from my rural hometown, but the music made its way into my life when I found CDs that belonged to my older brother. Inspired at age 11 by The Score by The Fugees, Illmatic by Nas, and other late 90s hip-hop, I forged a path not previously traveled by anyone from The Berkshires. 
 After releasing my album From the Woods in January 2021, I featured the legendary emcee KRS-One on the remix to the title track. Following my collaboration with KRS-One, I went on to release singles including “No”, “Still Different”, and “Thought Pollution” featuring emcees Just Juice, Lateb, and Rittz, as commissioned by Ryan Mills Presents. I recently produced the beat for “Think Bigger”, a song on KRS-One’s 24th album, co-produced with Elan Morrison. 
 I currently reside in The Berkshires, MA where he creates music in his studio in between shows. There’s always new music coming out, whether it be a single, a collab, an album, or a beat tape. Stay on the lookout for tour dates where I perform in a variety of formats, from solo to live band.
