In 2001 at 10 years old Beatmatic would imitate or create characters out of voices. He would record on Cassette Tape of him doing multiple characters just having a conversation & fighting each other. This carried on over 5 years & this is where the birth of his acting bagan. 

 

Summer of 2001 Beatmatic was named A-Drew for short of Andrew named by G-Money. G-Money wrote Beatmatic a verse he calls Rap All Good. He raps out this verse but his attempt to write didn't go anywhere. All G-Money friends were able to rap as & Beatmatic gave it his best effort. That was a challenge he needed to overcome. Same year he would learn keys on a Piano where his dad was teaching him.

 

In 2005/2006 he continued to face this struggle of trying but no change.

At 17 years old in 2008 Beatmatic found himself getting into music again. On October 3 2008 his cousin Tyquan came over his house & Beatmatic decided to try to freestyle off the mind. Without no written lyrics he actually pulled it off. A simple MP3 Player held the memory of something to listen to as a beginner. He decided to give writting another chance. His ambition also put him into sampling beats and themes on a Playstation 2 Game left behind by G-Money. Around this same time his cousin Tyquan known now as Quan started doing his own thing.
