Musical career
Following Hurricane Katrina, Pell moved from New Orleans to Jackson, MS with his mother. While sharing his grandmother's 2-bedroom home with 10 of his family members, Pell found his beat machine to be a way to make friends and connect with people in his new environment. It was the confidence he built from tinkering with his beat machine which led him to begin rapping and performing alongside his friends at St. Joseph Catholic School (Madison, Mississippi) Madison, MS - a suburb of the Jackson metropolis. He continued his musical pursuits throughout high school and into his days as a student at Mississippi State University, where he connected with Jacob Reed, his current manager.
After deciding to put his studies on hold and pursue music full-time, Pell released his first project, Floating While Dreaming, on May 20, 2014 which "earned praise as one of the top independent releases of the year". The project premiered via Complex (magazine) and has gained over 11 million streams as of February 2016.
