Born on April 3, 1999, he burst onto the music scene with his viral hit "Envy Me" in 2018, a track that showcased his melodic style and emotionally rich content, earning him widespread recognition and a multi-platinum certification. His moniker is a nod to his first name and a reference to his storytelling reminiscent of wild western narratives.
