Originally from the working-class neighbourhood of Morne-Calbasse in Fort-de-France, he started singing at the age of 11 with a cousin and a friend. In 2016, he flew to France where he met his manager and worked with him on his first tracks, including the mixtape #YDD Young Drugs Dealers, which he published on the SoundCloud platform.[3] His first video Pa Tou Sel was critically acclaimed and encouraged him to pursue music.[4] In 2017, he released his first album called St. Patrick.
