Early life and career
editThis article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (July 2015) |
As a child, Carter was interested in R&B and old school rap. He shifted his focus to music after graduating from Westside High school and went to college at The Art Institute. Carter's roommate made beats as well. At first, Carter wanted to engineer and record artists, but after seeing his roommate's work, he was inspired to produce.[2]
In 2011, Carter dropped out of college and started to engineer and record for people, but was unsatisfied with the trajectory of his career. With no other job, he started to sell his beats to make ends meet. Driven by criticism from his cousin Yung Jonez, Carter worked to improve his beats. Eventually, they developed a musical chemistry with each other and Carter went on to produce some songs for Yung Jonez.[2]
