I started singing at the age of 2 and dancing while in diapers according to my father. As a child the only television shows that held my attention were that which included both. To name a few,  the Jackson 5ive cartoon show, The Magic Garden, & Zoom.

​

I started performing in school (Holy Innocents  and James Madison High school); while in high school, I hung out with artists/MC 's. Whom were associated with dancehall/reggae sound systems (Fashion Studio(who's now linked to Earth Ruler & LP international, known all over the world).

 

 I started singing amongst them, from their inception, battling other singers/vocalists around these sound systems who would play the version side/ known as the instrumentals side of a vinyl record. We would sing cover songs to the reggae/dancehall beat. 

 

It was at a King Kustom Sound System that I met Mikey Jarrett, who after hearing me sing gave me the name Blendy Melody. We quickly became friends and Mikey assisted me in writing my first song, titled True Love, which was recorded and added to the compilation album; titled To the Foundation. A compilation album which includes: Gregory Isaacs, Shabba Ranks, Mikey Jarrett, Nicodemus and many others. It's a double album. 

 

Once I realized that I didn’t know enough about the business side of things and not being compensated for my recording. I decided to learn the business of music.

 

 It was while doing this work, I met a group of rappers from Queens,named MUDCLOT{mysterious underground dwellers combining lyrically over tracks:} and producer named Kat (Ronald Speedbey Jr) I  began working with and later , at their request and as a self imposed hands on training, managing two of the members(R.I.P. LO aka Locifer  & Misfit) 

 

That meant, assisting with producing, writing, singing hooks/chorus, scheduling showcasing, photoshoots, conferences, etc. It was a lot of work, but I loved it and was learning.

 

While at an open mic, I met another artist/MC who went by the name Matrix, who had been on the lyricist lounges' compilation album; and was looking for representation. I started managing him and also wrote,co-wrote songs, collaborated/sang chorus, booked showcases and European tours.
