Option MC / Sole Option
From the day I was born music was always played at our house by dad on his old turntable so I was immersed in music from day one, I guess it must’ve imprinted on me because I’ve never stopped loving it from a child
When I turned 11 I hassled my mum for a full year to take me in for guitar lessons until she was over it and finally took me in, after seeing my cousin teach my older brother a few chords and tunes I became a bit obsessed with following in his footsteps
So I went to my first lesson and instantly became hooked, practicing every night and reading every book I could on becoming the best guitarist
I went through 3 different schools learning all the tricks and tips I could from the teachers and even becoming a guitar teacher myself to 2 students
When I turned 14 for my birthday my uncle bought me a zoom Mrs 8 track recorder so I could start to lay down my songs, I made my first album off of the machine and a ton of singles as well that I just played to myself and never let see the light of day
Before I turned 15 I made my first full length hip hop track, hip hop had always been a big part of my life since I heard the crusader by Scribe and 2001 by Dre both showed to me by my older brother who downloaded heaps of hip hop online
The track was called coffee shop and I put the track on my phone originally just to show a few friends but after sending the track to 3 or 4 mates phones the song ended up being spread around the school and giving me a little bit of recognition,
