Growing up in the nearby little town of Morganton, North Carolina, which is just one hour from Asheville. The music that musician 23ICYQ was exposed to in Morganton was primarily Rap for the younger age and a lot of Country Pop for the older generation.
23ICYQ has set a standard for himself; his primary objective in music is to one day start touring extensively and opening for well-known artists.
23ICYQ thinks the music industry is totally broken because it doesn't recognize underground artists and because he runs a music business as well. Because he was in that person's position a few years ago and is familiar with how it feels to be left out, he constantly talks to everyone in the same way. He claims that while he cannot alter anyone's mindset, he could alter how people in the music industry ought to interact, lead, and give other opportunities.
