Lil Sporty D was born on July 13, 1982, in New Orleans, LA. From childhood, he was inclined towards music, and he first started his career at the age of 12. At the time, he was experiencing a difficult childhood in a notorious environment in the Marrero Project’s one of the toughest neighborhoods, which is 10 minutes away from New Orleans.
Being raised by a single parent and placed in foster care, Damien’s life was far from easy, and he often comforted and entertained himself with music. As a young kid, he felt a strong love for good sound and often recorded songs on cassette players with his brothers and a few friends.
He attended Aberson High School before dropping out two years later, and then enrolled into Delgado Community College for an associate's degree in business with a specialization in Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services.
Lil Sporty D started experimenting with notes as a hobby. However, it didn't take long to realize that music was much more than an interest to him. After completing his degree from community college, he started focusing on his music career. However, several record labels didn’t give him a chance. This is when he decided to start his own record label, Mentality Music Entertainment.[[./Https://www.lilsportyd.com/ Lil Sporty D]]
