Early life
Sonny was born on March 5, 1991, in Saginaw, Michigan and quickly moved to Atlanta, Georgia while still an infant.
He has been involved in making music since an early age. At first he started rapping while at school, but found it hard to get instrumentals to rap over. When he was 13, he was influenced by his older cousin to start making beats. Aside from school, Sonny didn't have other hobbies like playing sports or video games, so he dedicated a large amount of his free time to creating music. Sonny was inspired by famous producers
Shawty Redd and
Drumma Boy and initially tried to copy their sound while learning to make beats. Eventually his production transformed into his own style.
