It started in 1998 I was born, and I believe I was put on this planet for reason. In 1999 my mother was convicted on Second Degree murder and sentenced to 50 years. I was only 1yo it’s so hard to explain what I had to go through. My life was flipped upside down from the start. My father’s side of the family is from Mexico. When they came to the states it was very difficult to start a life out here, but they did, and they worked so hard and still do to this day. But it truly felt like they were not really there for me because of them always at work. So here I am, a young boy who loved tapping on school books with pencils during class like they were a drum set. I never could get anything right in school. A beat or a song was always flying through my mind. Music was all I had. Of course the doctors say well it looks like this kid has ADHD and dyslexia, so at the young age of 10-11yo they start pumping me with meds like Adderall and many others. I heard Jarad said in an interview he would wrap them up and throw them away cause he hated how they made him feel. Mannnn can I relate to that. So many times I fake took them and threw them away. they really **** me up excuse my language. So of course at a young age I started experimenting with drugs. I started with weed and alcohol, but through the years it was not enough. I remember in 2016-2017 my grandma. Grandpa, and auntie on my mom’s side all passed away in the same summer. I lost everything. I lost my whole world. I can literally remember that was the day my whole life changed and went upside down. I found cocaine, and I just remember the rush and how much it took the pain away, yet it still was not enough. Then I found cough syrup. That was my true love. Yet nothing was ever enough for me. Before you know it, I found the Percocet which were not real and were Fentanyl. I was instantly hooked. I lost everything. The love for music, the love for my family and mom. I knew if I really wanted to do this music *** I had to change. 8 rehabs later and today I am 110 days clean and sober, and I hope someone hears my music I just need heard. Jarad impacted my life so much he inspired me to make the music I make. MY MOM EVEN LISTENS TO HIM IN THE PEN AND LOVES HIS MUSIC SHE SAYS HIS MUSIC REMINDS HER OF ME. She tells me do this for him, someone who was just lost and stuck in something so horrible and couldn’t make it out. You get the chance to CHANGE THE WORLD with your music. I wanted to meet Juice and shake up with him and show him my music and just see his face of the reaction I just know I would have impressed my idol. I am so blessed today, and I WONT EVER STOP CHASING MY DREAM JUST LIKE JUICE.
