Born in 1992 in Los Angeles to a family of professional musicians rooted in jazz, R&B, and gospel traditions. His musical education includes the New England Conservatory of Music and Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance (now Herbie Hancock Institute), where he studied under mentors like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Dianne Reeves. Debut album Bones (2021) received critical acclaim for its originality, layered vocal harmonies, and emotional depth. Follow-up Fly (2024) explores improvisation, instinct, and creative freedom through innovative vocal techniques, beatboxing, layering, and genre-transcending harmonies.
