I grew up in a small town, Boonville Mo. At an early age, I was a happy kid, always had a good relationship with everyone. the class clown, had to be the center of attention and that followed me all throughout my school years, it was not until I was about 17, when I started drinking, smoking, partying and sleeping with different women etc. these things lead to other things that I should have never done, and at the same time those things, shaped me into the person I am now, and also the person I'm continuing to become with Christ as my foundation. around 2014/2015 I found myself trying to become a rapper in the secular world with a group, it was 4 of us, we did a few shows, and it just wasn't going the way we thought it would, but God was moving at that time and I didn't even realize it, I had several people tell me at times, your different, they would say I don't know how to explain it, but your just different. I did not understand at the time, But God Did! I believe it was 2015/2016 when I started to become really intrigued about God and starting thinking about getting baptized out of nowhere, had no idea what it even truly meant, so I had a talk with a pastor about baptism, he explained to me, what it meant to be baptized, then I realized it was a serious life changing decision, I didn't get baptized until two years later, but in the process of this, I heard Christian Rap for the first time, from now brother in Christ Christopher Hubbard, and it was like a light bulb, went off in my head, I was like wow, I want to rap about the Lord, and ever since then, I have been on my journey with Christ, I just want to make music that glorifies Jesus, music that tells my story, and what I've seen, that ultimately points you to the cross and not myself, God has since moved me to independence Mo, and surrounded with a great group of brothers that I do life with, we all do Christian rap, we actually our a group as well as individual artist, we go by undrafted, undrafted_kc check us out on all streaming platforms! God also blessed me with my first and only Child in 2016! My biggest blessing, besides salvation, at the end of the day, I am just a simple man after God's heart, and I honestly believe this walk with Christ is about Progression Not Perfection, so I hope and pray my music points you to Christ!
