I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I've been in the music game all my life, mostly as a writer, and mc. After the military, I had my first daughter and I put music to the back. A few years past and i decided I would be a fool not to pursue my passion for music. Along the way there were many ups and downs, but there is nothing that can stop you not even being shot when god is with you. My first Album was Lyfe After Dying Twice. Produced by Rick J of The Beatnicks. In 2011 Rick J and myself formed The Beatnicks releasing our first album self titled The Beatnicks. After the sudden split of Mike Fantastic and Rson-Tr8 , it was only natural that we bring in our brother at arms Mike fantastic. Over the course of a year we have seen tremendous growth as we created such things as "Blow your wife", Beatnick Nation, and so many other things. As we grow as a group, so do we as individuals. With life happening all around us. Legal issues forced me into seclusion, As well as each of us time to discover other opportunity and other projects. The year is now 2013 and Even Though I'm working on solo projects. I am always going to support family and IT'S THE BEATNICKS - ELLMATIQ RECORDS FAMILY 4 LIFE.......
