The Unexpected Influence: Green Day Made Me Start Making Rap Music

Most people assume my first big musical influence was a rapper… but that’s not even close.
The truth is, Green Day was the first band that made me fall in love with music at all.
Growing up in the 90s, you didn’t cross genres — but punk rock was the spark that eventually pushed me toward writing rap.

In this video, I break down why Green Day hit me so hard, how it shaped my love for music, and how it led me into a 25-year rap journey.
