Amith, who was born in Sri Lanka escaped the civil war with in the late 90’s and fled to America as a refugee, by the grace of his grandmother who sponsored him and his family for a better life. Once Amith came to America he went through a multitude of hardships as a child trying to cope with learning English acclimating to a new foreign culture all while being bullied in school along the way.
His Hip-hop influences started in middle school as the African American culture took him in as one of their own and taught him a lot about being a minority in American culture while embracing the hip hop community. Amith was fascinated by the culture and felt like he was at home with it. He started slowly cutting through the accent and language barrier difficulties he was facing. Speaking slang every day and hearing his friends freestyle over beat boxing during lunch hours made him study the process that would later lend to his craft.
After graduating from high school and dropping out of college he immediately went in to working on his own music and building relationships throughout the music business. He came across building relationships with artist and business executives like Swizz Beatz, Ne-Yo, Mark Pitts, and the list goes on.

The small nation was overcoming a cease fire of a civil war that had the country in peril for years. He knew it would take the right contacts to help bring the country on a better footing that would be sustainable for years to come.
