==Life==
Bowman was born on March 23, 1999, and was raised in Savannah, Georgia, United States. He showed early interest in music as a child. In October 2017, he decided to pursue music full-time.
His stage name is a play on his nickname, "Quando". He is also a fan of the basketball player, Rajon Rondo. He grew up listening to rappers such as Chief Keef, Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug, and Camoflauge.
==Career==
In February 2017, he released his first song on SoundCloud, titled “Gangsta Bitch.” He continued to release songs on SoundCloud, barely gaining attention. In November 2017, after being released from jail, he made a freestyle that he wrote while incarcerated titled “I Remember” on YouTube, which went viral quickly.
In April 2018, he released his first mixtape, Life B4 Fame. It accumulated 1 million streams on MyMixtapez in its first two days of release.
In June 2018 it was announced that he was the first signee to YoungBoy Never Broke Again's Atlantic Records imprint, Never Broke Again, LLC. In August of that year, he and Kevin Gates were featured on the song, "I Am Who They Say I Am". The following month, Bowman was featured on three of the four tracks of YoungBoy's 4Loyalty EP.
In February 2019, Bowman released the single "Scarred from Love", which appeared on his third mixtape, From the Neighborhood to the Stage, released in May. He released his debut studio album, QPac, in January 2020.
==Shooting of King Von==
On November 6, 2020, Bowman's crew had an altercation with rapper King Von's crew in a nightclub in Atlanta. It later led to a shoot-out which resulted in Von's death. TMZ reported that before the brawl, Bowman was napping in a car outside the nightclub, awaking to find King Von, whose real name was Dayvon Daquan Bennett, and his crew angrily approaching him and his associates. There was footage of Bennett throwing punches at Bowman's crew prior to the gunfight. Surveillance videos also showed Bowman helping rapper Lul Timm get to the hospital afterwards.
Bowman publicly remained silent on the incident until two weeks later, when he released his song "End of Story", which was assumed to be a reference to Bennett's song trilogy, "Crazy Story". In the song, he recalls the shooting and addresses his involvement. In the song, he again states that he was defending himself and even shows support for his friend Timothy "Lul Timm" Leeks who was charged for the murder of Bennett. In April 2021, Bowman denied that the song was a diss toward Bennett, and claimed he did not know that he had songs with that title. Despite receiving strong criticism, Bowman has continued to publicly support Leeks.
In November 2022, Bowman and YoungBoy Never Broke Again released a collaborative mixtape called 3680. In one song, "Want Me Dead", which features Leeks, Bowman appears to have dissed Bennett, saying the following lyrics: "Ha, my favorite opp dead, sister talk too much, no, I don't like the bitch/Lul Timmy rolled her brother up, got stepped on in some Nike kicks." In context to the lyrics, Bowman's "favorite opp" appears to refer to Bennett, "Lul Timmy rolled her brother up" refers to Leeks fatally shooting Bennett, and his sister has been in several interviews related to her brother's death, in which Bowman refers to her in the first lyric. The mixtape has been criticized by fans, with some listeners taunting Bowman of his friend, Lul Pabb, who died in August 2022.
