As a Musician my first influence to music came from my culture. Brasilian people have one of the most festive cultures that are driven by its music. Like a drum from Batucada music my heart beats to the rhythm of Carnival. Growing up I was never intrigued by the radio's pop music and was not a fan of music in general. When I was 10 my mother gave me a Run D-mc Tape and a Fat boys tape and from that moment so birthed my love for Hip Hop culture.

At the age of 11, I and a few friends made our first homemade recording with an instrumental from a vinyl and a fisher price lil tyke§s recorder that was a friend§s little sisters toy. One of the boys mothers took the song to the local radio station and we got to do our song live on the radio. Not much at this time would come of it. Years passed and i continued always writing music but never had any of the right tools to ever create it.

In August 2002 I took on the role of CEO of an Independent record label "HomeGrown Records Inc." This was created with the help of Kava 1, Evo Freez, Pud Fluff and Stelos.

Putting my passion for rapping aside my main focus was establishing an independent record label in Canada and to promote and manage the artists. Over the last 6 years i have managed over 14 artists, released 8 albums from the label and have sponsored several other albums in collaboration with other labels. With around 14,000 units sold and over 100 live events featuring my artist or events I've promoted.

Over the past few years i have been privileged to meet and work with some of most creative minds in Hip Hop. From the underground to the mainstream such as: Canadian Hip Hop's Finest- Moka Only, Jeff Spec, Emotionz, Ishkan, Dj Murge, Just b, The Rascalz, Classified, Dj Moves, Zes Nomis. Hip Hop legends The Beatnuts and Dj Roc Raida, Obie Trice, Mopreme Shakur and Bizzy Bone.

2 years ago after facing life changing situations. I was driven to start recording since then I have completed about 150 tracks and counting. Not claiming they are all great but making music has been an escape and played a huge role in my healing process. I am currently finishing my debut solo album. With several completed projects to be released shortly after. Also in the works are 2 videos to accompany the release of the album. This is targeted to be released in early summer of 2009.
