Major: Music Production

Growing up in my native country Togo, music was never first option for anyone. Sports were mainly my first love and I spent years of my life trying as hard as possible to break into the sports world while also learning how to become an afro beat singer. I grew up in a neighborhood that lacked a positive perception on following a career in the arts (or music). My family and friends basically represented my proverbial wall in life. My genre of preference (hip-hop) was practically banned in the household. The type of music that my city produced was never something I wanted coming out of it. My country as a whole was never seen as a music producing country. I spent my younger years trying to learn the best I can on how to sing and produce the type of music I wanted. i also spent years looking and listening to the work of rappers and singers such as EPMD, Gangstarr, Ice Cube, Wu-Tang, Dr. Dre, Eminem, wizkid, sarkodie, Castro, flavour, iyanya, ice prince. They have been a role model for me growing up. I spent the next couple of years though going through schools and trying my best possible to focus on becoming a doctor to satisfy my family as that was my only way of having a rooth over my head. I finally decided to pursuit my education trying to become a music producer and an afro beat artist after my parents came to the conclusion that this was where my mind and heart lied. I hope to make an impact in this industry whether small or big i want to go as far as possible within this business. By the grace of God and hard work and deducation i will make it.
