In a world where most kids were consumed with video games and cartoons, 8MakeitHappen was busy finding his rhythm. Born and raised in the heart of Baltimore City, this young artist didn’t just grow up with music he grew through it. By the age of 9, armed with nothing more than an iPhone and ambition far beyond his years, he was writing his own rhymes and experimenting with sound.
At 10 years old, while others were just discovering themselves, he stepped into a studio and recorded his first official track boldly releasing it to the world on SoundCloud, where it still lives today as a testament to his fearless beginnings.
But the real story began in his basement, which quickly transformed into a makeshift studio. While his peers were asking for video games and sneakers, 8MakeitHappen was asking for beat machines and Fruity Loops software investing in his future with every birthday and holiday.
What started as a personal passion turned into a movement. Friends gathered in that basement, creating not just songs, but a culture—a space where dreams were chased, verses were sharpened, and bonds were built.
Now, with a growing catalog, a signature sound, and unshakable faith, 8MakeitHappen is more than just a rapper he’s a visionary. He has his eyes locked on opening for major artists, rocking festival stages, and one day, headlining his own tour. His journey is far from over, but one thing is certain:
He’s not just chasing a dream he’s building a legacy.
With God guiding his steps and a mic in his hand, 8MakeitHappen is proving that age is just a number but purpose is everything.
