'm from 3rd Ward, Houston, TX, and I live in East Harlem & MTL - but I'm usually everywhere else.

All credit for my taste in music goes to my family, who never let me pick a radio station that wasn't R&B or classic rock.

Eventually Chad Butler and country rap tunes found me and taught me about samples, which made me start rediscovering my parents' old favorites and learning what else is out there.
