From Avondale not even a full 2 months in, he was transferred to La Presa Elementary where he met his some of his best friends.^{Roger, Brandon & Brendon & Alexis)} After leaving La Presa, Rich went back to Avondale where he met his friend John. We all ended up going to the same middle school together.^{La Presa Middle School.}

“Coincidentally Enough, in High School, I later found out John was close friends with my boy Roger!!” Rich laughed.

High School

Rich went to Mount Miguel High School where he met his Filipino brother, Jared. They shared many similarities such as Video Games, Foods and Passion for Dance. But the thing that brought them close was their “Pinoy Pride”.

Activities

Rich says he wasn’t apart of much in High School but he was always around. He was always at Dance Practices, or the Theater room, or the Field.

However, he was in the JROTC program for all 4 Years of High School. Which led him joining the Army later on.

Jobs

”This is probably a boring Topic to be honest so I’m only gonna list the Two Triggers to my career” Rich says

Rich’s first job was working at SeaWorld San Diego where he took on the Alias “King”.

”I don’t know why but I just liked the sound of it… and til this day I don’t even think anyone knows my real name [he laughed]. But I really Enjoyed that Job to be honest. It was a great way to socialize and network my music.”

Rich then Joined the US Army in 2018 where he met a plethora of unique artists. Rich was always writing Music even in the barracks. After graduation BCT^{Basic Training} Rich was off to Fort Rucker, Alabama for his AIT Schooling. There he met his best bros Lloyd, Monte, Carter &Upson. Rich Lloyd and Carter were inseparable when they found out they all made music. They made a couple of tracks such as “Stuntin” & “Chasin Luv”. Which were streamed all across the barracks.

”It was crazy!! We had all the women running that Chasin Luv joint up.”

Soon after, he decided to leave the Army for personal reasons.

”I was a Flight Operations Specialist, a Desk Job which was not something I was interested in at the time. I was young and active but I didn’t know too much about the Army Titles. All I knew was that it was one of the higher paying positions. Either way I still wasn’t interested especially after the vision I had for my music”
