At age 13, he moved to Rockland County and went on to attend college at SUNY Plattsburgh to study TV/ Video Production. Brett has always had a passion for music and wished to follow in his father's footsteps. He was influenced by lyrical geniuses such as Busta Rhymes and Fabolous during his father's time managing the female artist, Lumidee in 2002. He was also inspired by late Bronx native Big Pun and Tupac Shakur but also contemporary artists like Drake, Roddy Rich, and Da Baby. He shared that he feeds off of the energy in the room and enjoys having his friends in the studio to create an ideal recording environment. The goal is to be set apart from the over-saturated rap pack with positive, feel-good music. Brett is currently working with other talented artists to grow his sound and infiltrate the music industry from all angles. With their unique twist of positivity, Street Vendors are music makers that motivate and inspire, yet can definitely be appreciated and respected in the streets.
