Describe your musical journey in three sentences.
 
I started recording professionally in 2017 being put on by one of the OGs from my hood but we then later separated since he signed a with a label. A year later I formed a group with a few gents to make music again & we came back stronger but the group also kinda failed so I had to go solo.
