Early Life
Bernard King Jr. was born and raised in Milwaukee, a city outside of Chicago. King grew up in Milwaukee's east and north sides. He spent his childhood in the city's neighborhoods and attended public schools in the metropolitan area. He began making beats and recording his own songs at the age of 13, learning to mix, master, and produce music at home. He continued to work independently on his music until moving to Nashville in 2010. He was quickly discovered and signed by the independent record label GHE at age 17. Double G later gained popularity for producing and collaborating with prominent U.S. artists.

The group released several popular underground songs and mixtapes, becoming a local high school sensation. In 2012, the group released their first self-promoted album, "Born2Ride," which garnered them local airplay and performance opportunities at Nashville's major venues. GHE continued performing and touring the East Tennessee region, gaining popularity until the group disbanded in late 2015, leading Double G to pursue a solo career. [2]
