He was born a HUGE music head so he loved music. Grew up middle-class as an only child with both parents. Mom working a regular job and Dad being in the military. With his dad being in the military, it left him and his mom together building a very strong mother and son bond. Growing up he didn't drink or smoke, never got in trouble with the law and wasn't in a gang. He was just an average joe that has seen a lot of things. For some odd reason, a lot of his friends was either about crime, sports, computers, video games or music heads. So he hung out with a variety of people from different walks of life. The thing that connected him and those people that was the total opposite of him was having the same taste of music. He faced a lot of verbal abuse and getting teased growing up which lead him to have a low-key anger/temper problem. In high school he wasn't in the popular "in crowd", he was just a guy that knew people here and there but overall was a loner. Years later he had an authentic real encounter with the Lord and gave his life to Jesus Christ. God took everything he went through that was bad, and turned it around for him to use it for the good. Some people would try to put him in a "box" and label him as a "church kid" or a "bible thumper" not knowing he didn't grow up in church. His approach is not trying to be "preachy" or talking "at" people, his approach is talking "to" people out of compassion. He may have not been a "tough guy" but he went through a lot of struggles dealing with hurts, insecurities, rejection and disappointments. Letting it be known no matter what background you've came from, there's certain hurts and struggles that EVERYONE can relate to. His music is majorly transparent, confessional, honest and open speaking from the heart. He represents for the underdogs. He's got a heart for the people that feels like they don't have a purpose in life. The main underline theme through his music is spreading encouragement, truth and hope to the hopeless. His songs may have catchy hooks but also have substance, which is lacking in a lot of music now and days. He's just trying to bring back that balance how hip-hop used to be in a unique way.
