I starting writing songs in 1995 as a 15 year old boy in Mooroopna, Country Victoria.

The first group I was in was called The Alliance with Dan Murphy, we made a bedroom mixtape in 1999 in Geelong and made various performances on the formula hip hop show on pbs in Melbourne, spitting writtens, freestyles and battles. We even made an appearence on the hard to get Formula mixtape alongside Trem, Balans and Brad Strut which was released early 2001. I went on to form a group with Aetcix called Field Trip and also made an album with Brisbane producer Dave V under the name Mankind. Since then I have made 3 solo albums and have featured on tracks with various artists in Australia and around the world.

I made music with many different people and lived in many different places over the years including Mooroopna, Brisbane, Melbourne, Geelong and now Bunbury, Western Australia.
