Early life

edit

Born January 2, 1996, McBride is from Knoxville, Tennessee.[5][6][3] She was first introduced to music through church, where she would often sing in the choir, and play the violin and piano.[7] Starting from the age of 10,[6] she became introduced into the Hip-Hop/Rap scene when she wasn't able to give her father anything for Father's Day, instead, she delivered him with a Father's Day rap. She took Rap more seriously after somebody told her, "Your talent is God's gift to you and what you do with it is your gift back to God." McBride graduated from Harden Valley Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2014.
