Michael Dean was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and lived there till the age of five. He moved to Garden Grove, California and lived there till he was 8 then moved around a lot in Orange County, in cities like Anaheim Orange, Santa Ana, then finally Anaheim hills. 

From the age of 10 to 19 before signing with the independent label and moving to Newport Beach, growing up he found music at the age of 7 Michael Dean would sneak into his brothers Ford Explorer to listening to songs like One Mic by Nas, he discovered a new sense of life! He found his identity, something I was entertained about and enjoyed! I couldn't flow with the lyrics as well as the artist did at my age but I wanted to…“I wanted to say it the same way they did!” He wanted to figure out how a person thought that fast! So he played the record on a CD player and at the time, the CD players would scratch having to rewind it so many times. So he MD decided to play the whole record back and write down every sentence he heard. 

He would write the sentences word for word no matter how many times he had to rewind the song, He started doing that so much from then on discovering new artists and growing up in a world I see different now. Michael Dean set out on his journey to craft a sense of creativity through words. He found Eminem shortly after and as He would write the artist songs down he would slowly start to figure out how songs were broken down, the syllables and the way words were put together so much that it stuck and he started free styling, 

He nurtured his craft by performing to friends and having lunch battles in high school where his peers mostly knew him as a football player but only my close friends knew I had a passion for rap. 

Michael Dean wanted to pursue music secretly and develop a style; he started to focus on that while also playing football at Villa Park high school. However, football didn’t workout after tearing his ACL his first year playing college football. He got right back up and started to focus on his dream of becoming a professional artist. He started working; going from 290 pounds to 160 in one year this was a huge change and a big motivational point in his life. 

He started making connections with great people in the industry; he met Hitz or Desmond Simpson he is credited for songs with Beyoncé, he became his mentor for a while until I became a father to a beautiful girl London Chanel Atilano Martinez. He started recording in studios and with engineers and producers he had never met before, through this opportunity Michael Dean met Malik Yusef who introduced him to a professional agency where a friendship between Jas Prince and Von was created.
