Growing up in Centreville, Mississippi, Skeezy had a childhood filled with sports, laughter, and good people around him. He enjoyed playing sports, making jokes, and spending time with friends and family. Music was always somewhere in the picture, even before he took it seriously. During his school years and growing up in the hood, he would often play around with his vocals, experimenting with different sounds but never actually stepping behind a microphone.
It wasn’t until the age of 20 that Skeezy decided to take music seriously and officially test his abilities in the studio. One of his biggest musical influences growing up was Kevin Gates, whose approach to music helped inspire him to find his own lane.
When it comes to his sound, Skeezy describes himself as an artist who brings something different to the table. Blending elements of hip-hop and R&B, his music has continued to evolve. Right now, he’s leaning more toward a club bounce and Jigg sound, creating records designed to bring energy and get people moving.
His recording journey started with something as simple as his phone. As he continued developing his craft, he began working with several producers and recording talents, including PlayDatBeatWeeWee, Nickneezy, Top1Ant, and his current collaborator, Topperatwood. Each step has played a part in helping him develop his sound and bring his ideas to life.
Looking back at his younger years, Skeezy’s time was mostly spent on the sports field, at home, or occasionally in the hood with people he grew up around. Those experiences and the environment he came from remain part of his story as he continues building his name through music.
His latest release, “Cut Up,” gives listeners another look into what he’s bringing to the table. With more music on the way, Skeezy is preparing to take things a step further with an upcoming album that he says is dropping real soon.
Throughout his journey, he makes sure to recognize the people who have supported him along the way. He gives special shoutouts to Doeboy Smitty, his mother, his family, and everyone who believed in him and continued showing support.
