Born in Brno, Czech Republic, Jakub and his family moved to Canada when he was only 4 years old, as refugees, after the family had received threats from the Government, brought on by his fathers business. Growing up with English as the second language in his household, he learned to speak it through interactions and media, partly of which consisted of hiphop. As English became the primary language, hiphop became the prominent culture in lifestyle. Writing rhymes by 12, Jakub moved to Vancouver just before he turned 19 and has continued his personal journey of Evolution from East Van ever since.
