Tarik was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and moved to Jacksonville, Florida, at the age of 5.
With no friends or family besides his brothers and parents, Tarik had some trouble adjusting when he first moved to Jacksonville, Florida, Duval County.
Coming from two different cultures Tarik has been exposed to the life here where he grew up in Jacksonville, and the sights of his birthplace. Exposed to both sides of the music spectrum from Pink Floyd to DMX, Eric Clapton to 2Pac, Led Zeppelin to Biggie, Linkin Park To Jay Z, Tarik has always been interested in music.
Eventually he would begin to shift his interests into the mindset that put him on to the path he chose 2 years after his father took work overseas to provide and take care of family. Tarik found poetry and rap, this was his way of venting, while his mother had a strong shoulder to lean on, writing was his way of expressing himself.
