How did you get into music as a musician/producer/engineer?

Started up as an artist at a young age, part of the collective BEV LDN, with the group, we managed to do Nationwide and European tours, then after a lengthy trip to LA in 2016, I found my love for music production. From that point on, I focused on improving my skills as a beat maker. In 2018, I developed my songwriting skills and began my journey as a full-time Producer, offering my skills in musical production, songwriting and engineering. Since then, I've built several music studios and continue to focus fully on the creative side of artist development.

​

Where did you grow up? How, if at all, has this influenced your current work?

I grew up in Woolwich, South East London, and whilst attending an all boys school, everyone believed they had what it took to become the top MC. This is what fuelled the love to rap. Over the years, I met many other great music artists from the local area and we built small cliques in and around the borough. It's safe to say that Greenwich was oozing with talent. 

I also come from a family deeply rooted in faith. So growing up constantly hearing gospel music and being at band practice with both my parents, I quickly understood the process of creating and fixing together great music.
