I moved to San Antonio in 2018 and 2020 after I went to an A Boogie concert in late 2019 I gained a lot of motivation from watching him perform and being so young and still be known worldwide blew my mind so with my passion for music I put it to the test and started as a recording artist.

HDN Cujo – A day inside my shoes would be me starting my day off taking care of my family.

Then gaming and streaming with my friends if I am not working on music.
