At the tender age of 4, G.S The Brand began to find his voice and fought with himself between his passions of music and basketball. Music eventually won the battle of his heart. He looked to writing and music as his sanctuary when life thickened. When he lost his best friend, Dan, it pushed him to pursue hip-hop.

He discovered versatility and decided at that moment he wanted to connect with people through storytelling. Throughout the next few years, G.S The Brand experienced the unfortunate losses of his brothers, Larell and Montez, causing him to take a break from music.
