Born in Philly, graduate of Cox High School in Virginia Beach, "PIC" knew he wanted to be a barber at 13. He fully manifested his passions as they developed, his love of hair grew his love of music and a drive to fuse the two. His early life led to him joining the army which only further fueled his desire for consistent creative outlets and would eventually lead him across the globe and back to VA. His spiritual awakening has continued to shape not only his careers but every aspects of his life. His mentor left a lasting impression on him by bestowing on him these words of wisdom: " I know, I intend, I expect & I desire", a mantra for manifestation that can be used in all aspects of your life where you want to charge and invigorate that which is already yours and coming to you.
