During this time his uncle “Ali Congress” introduced him to a dance hall/reggae artist called Cocoa Tea; it was through this interaction that his passion for music arouse. He began exploring different genres of music; music he could related to and was inspired by. He began his self-education of music by being attentive to a songs’ lyrics, delivery and concept. He returned to the U.S and resided in New York for two years, however, fell in love with Chicago and decided to make it his home away from home.
His move to Chicago would prove fruitful as he would meet people who be instrumental in shaping his musical career. He first encountered Cambodia and Young Vim two up and coming Ghanaian artists; through this encounter, he met Mobeatz, a talented producer who he would later produce his album Amazing.
