SHAWT DEEZY derives his drive and creativity from his painful upbringing. His hometown of Madison, Florida had all of the barriers and none of the avenues of escape for a youngster like SHAWT DEEZY. Instead of athletics, SHAWT DEEZY chose art as a way out of the poverty and violence that flavored his life at that time. It was the death of his father that broke all restraints on the lyrical mastery of SHAWT DEEZY that allows him to create the music we enjoy today.
