All through out his middle and high school years his passion for music grew fonder and fonder. at age 15, with the help of one of his teacher Ms. Akoshia Yoba (sister of Malik Yoba) put him on to a non profit organization,PowellHouse Project, geared to help inner city youth develop the musical capabilities.While being part of PowellHouse he found himself part of a co-ed positive conscious music group called Crucial Impact, as part of the group he got to travel and meet many prestigious figures such as Dr. Cornell West, legendary R&B singer Jean Carne along with others. After two cd releases and a highly prestigious convention in Charlotte, NC, just like most good groups on the rise Crucial Impact broke up. After four wonderful years with PowellHouse he decided to part ways and venture out on his own. Self taught in ProTools and Reason he began recording his own music. Now two mixtapes and two children later Ubsird is gearing up to release his first EP set to release digitally on Valentine's Day 2012 and physically on 2/18/2012 followed by 4 more mixtapes at later times.
