Shorty was born on the South side of Chicago. But was raised on the rough streets of the West side (3121 W. Madison). At the age of 12 Shorty returned back to the South East side of Chicago and has been there every since. Shorty was influenced and introduced to Hip-Hop at an early age. In the 7th grade Shorty loved the reaction whenever he would spit something. He has a loud, clear and aggressive voice to match his catchy hooks and hot sixteens over hot beats. Performing on tour dates with DMX, and being an opening act for 50 Cents, Eve, and 92.3 in Chicago. He has modeled urban gear for Playboy, appeared in Jet magazine and has appeared on MTV's Ja Rule Diary. With the connections Shorty has made in the industry and all the people he knows from the streets there is no way that he will not become a STAR!!!
