NoZZy was born and raised in the streets of North Philadelphia, and it is here where he fell in love with the hip-hop culture. He used to see a bunch of guys gathered together on the corner of his block having freestyle cyphers, and it immediately caught his attention. NoZZy first begin writing poetry at the age of 7, which eventually turned into the writing of hip-hop lyrics at the age of 10, and he had his first performance at age 11 in a talent show for his summer camp. After the crowds reaction to that performance, it struck a fire inside him that has yet to be extinguished.
