Summary

Born & raised in Connecticut, Chris Webby showed drive and passion for music at a young age, beginning to write rap songs at age 11. The only child of a middle school teacher and guitarist, Chris enjoyed his alone time and began experimenting with drugs. In 2009, he was arrested for an attempted robbery on a drug dealer at his college. Though he only spent a week in jail, he was expelled from the college. This was the catalyst for him. In two years, he released six mixtapes, went on to found his own label, toured all over the country & worked with some of the biggest names in the industry.
