Biography
R-Scar was born in London, England in July 1999, to a Ghanaian mother and a mixed race father. Looking back on growing up in South London, he stated "My childhood helped me find my faith. The negative things I saw in my environment inspired me to be better and inspire people around me to be the best they can be, instead of becoming a stereotype." R-Scar studied music in School and was always fascinated with sounds growing up. He first gravitated towards production because he loved the way you could "manipulate sounds to provoke emotion." He says he was inspired by "musical geniuses" growing up. His first inspiration was Ryan Leslie. He stated "Ryan Leslie is an absolute genius. He had everything, there is nothing he could not do. He is the reason why I wanted to become a producer, engineer and artist all in one." Scar believes that his inspiration, has propelled him to be unconventional and unorthodox to how he approaches music.

In early 2017, R-Scar and DavEorKoFi started collaborating on music. DavEorKoFi is actually Scar's first cousin. They were experimenting with afrobeats at the time and and stumbled upon an instrumental. That instrumental ended up being Minus. R-Scar wrote the song for the duo and acquired DavEorKoFi to sing the hook. Little did he know that hook would be an iconic moment for the UK gospel scene. "Minus" has now amassed over 800k views on YouTube, combining with streams, almost 2 million streams worldwide. It took off unexpectedly and was the jam of the summer.

The dynamic duo then followed up a month later with Cannot Go Back which amassed almost 400k views. It was a successful time for the then 18 year old and 13 year old.

Scar then introduced himself with the solo release of his non-studio debut Mixtape “Diverse” which certainly was an amazing introduction into the UK CHH scene, with notable song "Uncomfortable". He then went on to release his first EP in the summer of 2019 entitled “7 ” which was his first studio project. His single from the EP “Helicopter ” did extremely well and was even added to the mega Spotify playlist; Afro Bashment. But the standout song from the EP was "Diablo"

In 2020, R-Scar has released just two songs "Centre" & "Centre Remix" featuring Sharyn. In 2021 R-Scar released I'm Fine featuring JL Poleon. R-Scar is now working on his first Studio Album set to be released in 2022. A lot of hype surrounds this project with many leaks surfacing.
