Mekhi Srey is an underground rapper, who rapped about the usual, Drugs, violence, and sex but he gained more publicity when he released songs about sad topics that differ from the rap topics of today's music. Most of his songs are about him feeling hopeless, having a "drowning feeling" and having suicidal thoughts. (Mekhi states: "Relationship wise...I hate the way people see me, and sometimes I feel like I'm being too nice to my girlfriend, next thing you know you get a message from her friends "Oh she cheated on you and she said she's sorry" at first it hurts but you get used to it after the 6th girlfriend that did the same; still the memories will come back and hurt you. People look at me wrong since I had a lot of girlfriends when in reality I just wanted to stay stable.") Knowing Mekhi's life many could agree with him! He dealt with unfaithful girls and one physically abusive girlfriend. At a young age his parents divorced, he was on a constant move during elementary school and during the constant moving he had to deal with a mentally abusive stepfather, the least he could get was a loyal girlfriend but he never did. (Mekhi Srey states: "We lived poor which I could sort of understand, I just wish he didn't aim his anger out at me. we lived in the countryside trailer home, no Wi-Fi, and sometimes no electricity. My mother would see me get told off by a stranger (my step father) and wouldn't do anything about it, I used to have a grudge on my mother when I was younger.") The constant depression at a young age, was possibly the reason he gained his following.

The first time Mekhi Srey ever played an Instrument was when he lived in the countryside and went to the elementary school "Kendall Elementary." located in Maple Falls Washington. A music teacher would let Mekhi Srey go into her classroom early before school starts and let him play on the Piano. The Music Teacher is still unknown. Mekhi later reported, "It was the only thing that kept me motivated and entertained me really, I had no friends literally nothing but a bed and a few toys in my house."
