BD.ii's path to music was uniquely intertwined with basketball, becoming a player at Hampton University and leading his team to March Madness in 2015 and 2016. Music was always part of his DNA, inspired by his father's gospel-singing career and early experiences performing in church choirs. Even during his collegiate basketball career, BD.ii's voice echoed through locker rooms and open mics near campus, with teammates recognizing his musical potential. Now based in Atlanta, he channels his creative energy at Plugged In Studios, writing and recording both for himself and other artists, while regularly performing at local venues. BD.ii has collaborated with renowned independent labels such as Saint & Citizen, The Ink Factory and The Groove Garden. His daughter, Zelle, born in 2018, has become his greatest inspiration as they share special moments creating freestyle songs together and nurturing each other's dreams.
