Growing up in the Chicago area it was constant trials and tribulations in every turn. Being expressive was something that became his strong point , using his creative talent to his advantage, drew the wanted attention that was desired but never really feeling comfortable settling for the position he acquired, knowing more work can be done.

hat Ad realized that music would be the most fitting career choice for him. Originally an aspiring rapper it wasn't until he joined joined up with a few or his friends and formed a rap group, realizing his true passion relied on his musical ear. Later became a music producer going by the name A.D. Da engineer at that present time even with no experience of understanding musical theories, compositions, and textures some of the basics of musical education Ad still had the raw attribute of having an ear for music. Creating a sound that stood out amongst the wide range of producers in Chicago is what ultimately attracted the public to him thus inspired him to continue to grow and mature in his craft. Eventually disagreements lead to a fallout within the rap group Ad still continued his journey of becoming a respected and well rounded producer on the music scene. Making the transition from the underground world of producing beats for free to actually getting paid seemly impossible. So many people who were in the position to contribute funds, insight, and encouragement felt that it would be a "bad move" for ad to continue to produce a sound that hasn't been heard of,compared to, or able to be identified by anything else that was on the air waves at that time. Presently working with a few artist,musicians, and producers that are on the same page , and mindset that think differently about ad's abilities to make a major impact with his unique style making it known that "if their is no available outlet for the team, then we will simply have to create our own, and that's what we're doing."
