Born Ira M.Watkins on the eastside of Pittsburgh, PA on Feb 3, 1984 music has been in my blood since I was around 7 years old back it goes back in times when my grandfather in his times in the army played a lot of jazz instruments such as the trumpet, saxophone, drums, and trombone his influenced were jazz greats such as Louis Armstong and Count Bassie the main reasons why he played those instruments was to teach the kids on how they can be something they to acheived in life and keeping them out of trouble. At an early age I listened to a lot of new jack wing cats like Al B Sure! and Keith Sweat to Michael Jackson and the late great Luther Vandross who influenced me to sing as well as Michael influenced me to write songs. I have done numerous plays form high school to stage from Youngstown, Oh to back home I got a chance to meet Rufus Blaq who's an in house producer for Marques Houston and his label TUG Entertainment as well as local cats from Youngstown like Lippsy and Lucky Penny who always gave me advice on never giving up as most people tell me now I'm at the point on recording my first cd called "S.H.H." (Soulful Hip Hop) and also I wanna shout out Brotha Ash Productions, My cuz S-Class, Speedy, Intell, Xeno, TRB, JPB, Mel Jay, Kweilin, Owey, J-Proc, Crave, Artistree, Zio, Mysterious thanks for the nickname "The Show" and all the PGH artists for showin ya boi some luv aight.
