I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, I was doodling, painting, and creating. I never considered myself the best because art was never that for me. Creating has always been A therapy session for me, a place where I could express my thoughts visually. Once I realized that I could make a living doing something I loved, that's where I struggled. The struggle was figuring how I could not taint the pureness of these therapy sessions & make enough money to eat. I got my BFA at Howard University, where I studied Painting under Akili Ron Anderson. He was a pivotal mentor to me through my training at Howard. He really taught me how to push myself and gave me a lot of insight into the Art world.
