RUDEBWOY is Haitian blood born. Raised in Miami, Florida, in a traditional Haitian household. His music loves were influenced by Haitian compa, dancehall, and hip-hop. The "Riddim of the Streets", his first Jam Pony Mix Tape became his heartbeat. Perseverance, adversity, and the will to survive was instilled by his biggest hero, (his mother) after the abandonment by his father caused dramatic changes in his life. He became a product of the system when certain events put he and his sibling into foster care. Harsh lessons were learned and the realities of life became embedded. After being reunited with his family, Rudebwoy found his voice and started rapping at the age of 17 Once again the realities of life made it apparent that in order to survive, he would have to make some quick decisions and some hard choices. After graduating high school he joined the Army as a combat medic for six years. Responsibility took the place of his dreams, but he never forgot them as he polished and honed his lyrical skills in the military. As music evolved, so did Rudebwoy.
