With a sturdy history in rock and metal bands in his fundamental years, the energy and diversity in his musicianship makes him one of the most kinetic artists of his generation. It was only while attending college at Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand (MAINZ), where he studied Audio Engineering and Music Production, that he unearthed his love for hiphop and beats. Samuel Truth has stated Hudson Mohawke, Tnght, George Benson, Steve Vai, and Black Hippy as his influences.
