Marquis J. Riley Sr. aka Keise Twerkha was born in New Orleans December 8, 1981 at Charity Hospital. The only son of the late Donna Jean Riley (April 7, 1960 to April 13, 1984). She was strangled to death in her apartment. He was only two years when he withstood this lost. After the death of his mother he moved to St. Bernard Parish where he was raised by his grandmother, Deloris Riley.

At age fourteen, he recorded his first song using two radios one to play the instrumental and one to record on. That was the day he decided to pursue music,but it wasn't until 2002, while he was in the military, that he began to sharpen his skills as an artist. he became part of the group Big Rigga. It was with them that he first worked with producer Dirt Digler of 9 Bodyz in the Trunk in Deridder, LA. He learned to count and write in an organized musical manner. He even appeared on the compilation disc Disaster Area. His song "Shed a Tear”, that Dirt Digler produced, was selected over 150 other songs to be on another compilation disc titled To The Fallen Vol. 1. During his first deployment, he worked with groups All State, the Bomb Sqad, and Stand Alone Intertainment (S.A.I.N.T.) on a series of Mixtapes. He  worked with Dudda Man from S.A.I.N.T. on recording a mixtape but it was never released publicly it had features from A. Ray, an artist from East St. Louis. I've worked with Choice Rhymez and Young T from Money Train Int; Yung Nell from Boardin' Pass Committee; Sonny Skye from Two Finger Production; the Legendary ICE MIKE and DJ Dirty Red of the Definition DJs; Jimmy Nutax of Sound Brew Lab; Infamous Los of Erupt Records; DJ Redd of Diamond Cut Records. I have opened up for Euricka, Sess 4-5, and Dorrough.

In 2009, I decided to take a break from recording to work on myself. I looked into some acting classes. I went to college and took a public speaking, writing, and a history of music class. My latest works can be heard on The Law of Attraction MIxtape Vol. 1 by Money Train INT. I'm currently working on my own mixtape entitled 1 song 4rm Blowin Featuring Jay Austin, Yung Nell, Choice Rhymez, Young T, Sonny Skyes, MainstreamUSA, and Jimmy Nutrax with production from Mr. Kooman, Arjae Knox, D.J. Corbett and many more.
