Growing up in the Northwest side of Chicago, the 24 year-old artist was raised to appreciate a wide variety of musical influences, from legends like Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Michael Jackson, to old school rock bands such as The Police. He began his music creating journey in his freshman year of high school, passing out burned CDs of his self- produced mixtapes in the halls between classes. His name and phrase “move with me” represents his philosophy, that no matter what happens in your life, be it loss, struggle, success or failure, you have to keep moving.
