ABOUT

Biography
I WAS BORN A MUSIC LOVER!! THE SON OF A LOCAL DJ, I USED TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR BOTHERING MY FATHERS EQUIPMENT AND TRYING TO DO WHAT I SAW MY FATHER DO. AFTER MY MOM AND DAD SEPERATED MUSIC WAS NO LONGER AN OPTION SO I TURNED TO THE STREETS. I WAS ARRESTED REPEATEDLY FOR ALL KINDS OF FELONY'S. THIS WAS MY PATTERN THROUGH OUT MY TEENS. WHILE INCARCERATED I DEVELOPED A LOVE FOR MUSIC AGAIN AND BEGIN WRITING SONG AFTER SONG HOPING FOR A SHOT AT A MUSIC CAREER. AFTER SERVING A FEW YEARS IN A STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY I WAS RELEASED IN 2007. AFTER MY RELEASE I MADE A VOW TO NEVER RETURN TO PRISON AND TO WORK HARD NOT TO!!! IN 2009 I WENT ON TOUR WITH A CLOSE FRIEND IN THE INDUSTRY AND LEARNED ALL I COULD FROM HIS BUSSINESS DEALINGS WITH PROMOTERS. AT THE SAME TIME I WAS SLEEPING AT THE STUDIO AND RECORDING DAY AND NIGHT UNTIL I HAD ENOUGH MUSIC FOR MY FIRST MIXTAPE. NOT LONG AFTER THAT ,AND WITH THE HELP OF MY MOTHER, I STARTED "GRADYBABY ENT". THIS PROMPTED THE RELEASE OF MY FIRST MIXTAPE "GOIN HAMM" VOL 1 IN 2010. I HIT THE STREETS OF ATLANTA SELLING MY MIXTAPE FOR A DOLLAR A PEICE TRYING TO BUILD MY FAN BASE. NOW YOU CAN FIND ME "GOIN HAMM" ALL OVER ATLANTA AND OTHER STATES AND CITIES
