I was raised in Los Angeles and moved to Boston in 1998 to play Ice hockey for the Junior Bruins. After Junior Bruins, I went to college and worked as a club promoter for Club Red 1888. During that time I was so good at what I was doing they promoted me to be the General Manager. As a general manager, I started to bring shows to the club. This is where I met Jesse Hayes and Krumbsnatcha to start a label called Str8up Entertainment with my partners Derek Wilson and Vietnam Dang. After a while, both of my partners quit and I kept running it until today. We had Krumbsnatcha, Edo G, Jaysaun, Slaine, L da Head Toucha paving the wave for hip hop artists in New England. On my downtime, I listen to 90’s hip hop, Boom Bap, and late-night w Motown.. I have been in the music business since 2000.
