## Early life and career

Initially a violinist, he became fascinated with hip-hop at a young age, attributing his time spent navigating iTunes & YouTube to developing his taste in music. He would overdub recordings of him playing violin onto instrumentals of well-known songs, burn them to CDs and sell them at school. At the age of 13, he began learning to rap and produce using GarageBand, attempting to copy other artists he found on DatPiff, then moving onto Logic Pro once he began attending high school. He eventually moved from his hometown of Danville, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Belmont University and find a more fitting music scene. He began posting to online music platforms such as SoundCloud and Bandcamp before releasing his first single, "Bonnie & Clyde", to music streaming services via DistroKid on December 5, 2016.
