…Being born to a single teenage parent at the age of 15, life was rough. His mother tried to raise him the best she could and provide everything that is needed but at such a young age its a lot easier said then done, but she never gave up working two jobs to pay bills and support her son. The life leading to Konvicts music career is to much to list all in here but listen to his music and you will hear nothing but truth from his past and what is still happening now! The name Konvict was chosen based on his criminal record. In and out of jail since 13 years old, convicted of everything from theft, assault, to robberies, aggravated assault and everything in between! But he finally realized that jail is not the place to be.

Following Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B music since he was an infant, it was seen as his only escape from the brutal realities of life in Hamilton. He lived a life for some is rarely ever seen except whatever makes it to the news. Some people make a choice to be involved in criminal activity. Others are born into it, with no other real options, and are forced to make the best out of what they have, even when sometimes its nothing at all. Realizing his lyrical talent while writing in custody Konvict knew this was his ticket, his only option to make something worthwhile out of life. After starting a rap group titled Steel City Movement after his release from custody in October 2007, he began recording with another artist. In the end it didn’t work out and both artists went their separate ways. Alone in this game, Konvict took a break with music and got involved in illegal activity again, getting arrested 4 more times before he met his girlfriend Sky Becker. She is what keeps him going day in day out thinking positively when life threw nothing but negativity at him. Since he has met her she has been his inspiration to make his music happen. She will be the mother of his child and is the reason he keeps going when there is little or no hope left. Starting a new life, fresh, seemed impossible and it proved to be just that. All he can do is keep making hits and hope he is recognized for his musical talent. Until that day the struggle continues…
