After dropping out of high school and taking a bus to New York to pursue his dream, Ted wound up in Canarsie, Brooklyn, living in his friends basement, then onto Harlem on 116th and 5th. Ted focused on music surrounded by love, loyalty, and new family who wanted to see him win. 
Ted's viral success began in 2016 with Hello (Who is this), which hit the Top 10 on Spotify & Billboards US Viral Chart, landing him a single deal with UMG / Capitol France.

Opening for Dumbfoundead, H1ghr and Jay on tours, the Genius BBQ with 2 Chainz and Jack Harlow, being pH-1’s surprise guest at Hiphop Playa Festival while releasing a massive output of songs with features from Jay, Jessi and more Ted built a loyal and authentic fanbase.
