Bruce turned to art and poetry as a way of escaping the negativity that claimed his environment. Bruce's love for music started when he saw his first hip hop music video, "I'm Bad" by LL Cool J. From there he found the influence to enhance his poetry to the likeness of hip hop. BRICK started writing rhymes Christmas of 1993, when his parents bought him a boombox radio. With this radio, he would record himself rhyming lines from "I Shot Ya(Remix)" by LL Cool J. BRICK would copy verses from these songs and convert them to fit his style and story.But his verbal skills elevated after meeting Edward EZ Zephyrin, his producer, in his third year in high school. In 2007, Ton O Bricks Entertainment was formed between the dynamic duo.
