About Me
Birth
I was born April 19th in Baltimore, Maryland. As a kid I started playing sports and always loved being active and staying fit. I never dreamed it would turn into the journey that it has today. This is how my story began.
Elementary
Growing up I started off playing soccer and basketball in my elementary years. I knew I wanted to be the best I could be at a young age so I started working out every day at the age of 10. I originally started off with a hundred pushups and a hundred sit-ups every night and worked up from there.
Middle/High School
In middle school I found the three sports that I truly loved, football, wrestling, and track. In 8th grade, at age 13, I started lifting weights daily on top of my home workouts. By sophomore year in high school, at age 15, I was a starting State Champion on the football field, an All-State wrestler, and All-State track runner. At this time I was cranking out 2,000 push-ups and hundreds of sit-ups/pull-ups a night. This is the same year I got my first and only gym membership at Golds Gym. Still a member to this day.
College
I was All-State in all sports throughout the of rest of high school and ended up deciding to pursue football in college in the NCAA. I played 4 years as a fullback in West Virginia. We went to the National Championship my senior year. At age 19 I posted my first fitness video on YouTube and it got about 50k views. That's when I decided to pursue aesthetics. Over the years I competed in a few NPC shows around Baltimore for Men's Physique but never saw much success. Instead I decided to focus on growing my brand online.
Social Media has been a huge part of my life and success. Since age 17, I managed to hit over 40 million views on YouTube, millions of loops on Vine, and over 3 million followers between Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr, and Twitter. At age 21, I got signed to my first record label and at age 22, I was being flown across the nation for photoshoots.
Career
What started off as a few standard photoshoots quickly turned into me walking in the worlds biggest swimwear fashion week, being featured on FashionTV with Nick Cannon, and getting published in The Daily Mail, Miami Herald, CNN News 18, Channel Nine News, etc.
This ultimately led to me walking in New York Fashion Week, during which I started working with Jason Derulo and Antonio Brown's luxury clothing line LVL XIII.
I've since been published in DNA Magazine, Adon Magazine, and many others.
I was a model at BET Awards Weekend fashion show in Los Angeles walking the runway for celebrity designer Martez Malone and his brand YEKIM before closing out the night with VH1 star Angel Brinks fashion line.
I walked the runway for Saks Fifth Avenue, Vilebrequin, Stello by Michael Costello, Trina Turk & Mr.Turk, OMG, and many others highlighted in Vogue! I was also featured in Elle, Cosmopolitan Magazine, and USA Today while appearing on FashionTV, FNL Network, and in the Amazon Prime Video series Model Monday!
NYFW was a blast I walked for a handful of designers including Argyle Grant and had the awesome pleasure working alongside Latin Sensation Recording Artist Nicky Jam opening night! Yahoo! also featured me alongside Madeline Stuart during NYFW
My ultimate goal is to one day walk the runway in Europe, London, Paris, or Milan Fashion Week would be a dream come true! I was featured on Fox5 New York for an a project called Bullies and Biceps by Mike Ruiz and New York Bully Crew!
Covid
When covid lockdown happened I was actually booked to walk Paris Fashion Week for the first time but due to the pandemic modeling industry took a massive hit, things slowed down dramatically but I actually still ended up in campaigns on some of the biggest billboards in the UK. Realizing I had to figure something else out temporarily I started releasing music. Music has always been a passion of mine right alongside fitness since I was real young so I figured why not. I ended up dropping my first song 'For You' and it went Top 20 on the Hip-Hop charts and Top 200 all genres. This I'd say started the next chapter of my life. I've also released other popular songs such as Hold Up feat. Yung Tory which also charted Top 20 and I was invited to the Grammy Awards Red Carpet for the release of my most recent song LA Nights feat. 2KBABY. My music has gotten me a fair bit of attention and I've since been featured in Forbes, Hollywood Unlocked, The Source, Rolling Out, Business Insider, People, E! News, and TMZ
I'm a lifetime natural and I'm living proof that you can be anything you want. You don't need drugs, and you don't need performance enhancers. All you need is the desire to be great and the hard work to back it up. I have faith in each and every one of you guys.
