HIGHER

Diagnosed with autism at age 3, I was non-verbal until around 5–6. As my speech developed I built a hybrid accent — London base with subtle American tonality — reflecting both my background and the way I process language.

Music became my outlet. Early influences: DMX, Nas, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West.

I started at the University of Staffordshire in 2018, completing a BA Music Business and Production in 2021 before returning that September to do an MA Music Production. I completed the MA in 2022 — producing, mixing, mastering. In 2022 I stepped to the mic, inspired by artists who create and perform their own music. Since then: three EPs — ME (2023), Discovery (2024) and REBORN (2025) — charting my growth as an artist and storyteller.

From beats to bars. For years I was the guy behind the desk — drums, samples, mixes, masters, no mic in sight. Picking up the pen changed everything. What started as loops turned into multisyllabic schemes, double entendres and full storytelling arcs, and the pen game got sharp fast. Now the producer and the rapper are the same person: I build the beat, then I out-rap it.
