Career Musical beginnings Akers grew up in Roanoke, Virginia, but moved with his mother to North Carolina when he was nine and began constructing his own beats and samples on computer software and drum machines during middle school. His break came when he was playing Call of Duty with a group of players he didn't know during COVID-19 while his music played in the background: one of the other players was producer Cardo Got Wings, who sent a comment that he loved the beats playing in the background.
