Through his music he portrays himself as a Supervillian and with good reason; he has always had the odds stacked against him since his early childhood. He was sent to behavior school after being diagnosed with ADHD.

Between the ages of 7 & 13 he was in and out of several behavior schools and homes. He learned to fend for himself at a young age and realized that life is what you make of it and he is determined to make his a success!
