Born Curtneil Anthony Munroe in Clarendon on the Island of Jamaica, he came to Canada to join his father in search of a better future at the age of eleven. Like every other young West Indian trying to adjust to a North American lifestyle he was exposed to a lot of negativity in his community but determine to stay positive.
In high school, he discovered his love for music with a natural ability to dance. After dancing with several groups and doing countless performances and competitions in and around Ontario, he later discovered he possessed two other talents; writing and rapping. Knowing it would take time, he continued to dance while writing lyrics at his leisure.

Since then he has danced his way through twelve music videos which aired on Much Music.
