Although Growing up in a broken up family east of Toronto in his early years, Explicit didn?t lose his positive out look in life, instead used it to take in the true meaning of music. For that 3 to 4 minutes that he listen to whatever was his favorite song at the time, he forgot about his problems and escaped into a fantasy world from the harsh reality of everyday life.
