The 24-year-old hitmaker, known for his smash hits like First Sermon and Sacrifice, emphasized that the foundation of his success wasn’t just about the music but also the support of a solid creative team.

His journey from First Sermon to his new album IRON BOY is nothing short of inspiring.
Since childhood, I’ve been an artist. I didn’t have my voice on wax or anything, but I was exploring everything that was interesting, in the most artistic way. We used to do bike rides—BMX freestyles—and go dance at weddings on the weekends.
“It was just figuring out what I wanted to follow within entertainment. That was when I started writing music, for 15 months, before going to the studio for the first time. Then coming out of high school, I tried to follow this thing by really hustling it!” He said
