Background
He started making music in the 3rd grade and this is how he describes his experience,“I would just learn classic songs and remember always performing at my elementary school’s talent show every year. I knew that music would be a big part of my life after realizing how awesome I always felt after performing like that. I also remember always using GarageBand throughout elementary school just putting loops together and making orchestral compositions with tons of layers. I first came into Hip Hop through breakdancing in middle school. I had a friend in 6th grade that was smoove with it, and I wanted to learn. I was lucky to have my first teacher be the younger brother of the founder of the original Jabbawokeez. If you don’t know they are a dance crew that’s been in the Step Up Movies, won the first season of America’s best dance crew, and have a permanent show in Las Vegas. In the summer before freshmen year of high school, I first got into making beats on Logic Pro
I remember being so amazed by the production done by Noah 40 Shebib on Drake’s Nothing Was The Same album. At the time I searched for music that inspired me just through the overall vibe and production, and this album captured some amazing feelings. I would always stay up late at night trying to re-create these dreamy, outer-space, bittersweet vibes. Something about the instrumentals on that album just felt like the feeling of being on the cusp of greatness” – Matthys
