6THGEN
6thGen is very diverse, and versatile with his style and sound. He ranges from raw hip hop, to trap, to club style hits, as well as real emotion. He talks about the real life things that happen to him, and the ones around him. The sound you hear is a reflection of things he has been thru in the past, or is currently going thru. The name resembles his birth and the generation we live in today. 6th stands for his birthday 6/6/96. Gen is because we are living with 6 generations in one all experiencing the same. also because of the versatility.

6thGen born Dallon Gaje Wilkerson 22 years old grew up until the age of 8 years old in a really small town called Tridell, Utah. His family owned a good piece of land in the middle of nowhere. 6thGen growing up loved to adventure and see what was beyond the points that he was told not to go. He would often times sneak off for hours at a time leaving his mom worried about where he would be. At 3 and 4 years old he would drag his older siblings out into the hillsides to just adventure and see whats out there.

At the age of 9 years old he moved to Orem, Utah. Orem is a smaller city 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City, Utah. 6thGen grew up with just enough to get by which drove him to want the best out of life. At the age of 6 years old he was introduced rap, and rock & roll by his older sister. He would steal an old school Walkman from his sister to listen to her Eminem, 50-cent and ludicrous cd’s. He also grew up with his mom listening to Van Halen, Ac/Dc, Enya, U2, prince, and Michael Jackson. From then on he would always have music by his side.

At the age of 10 years old he was introduced to marijuana. He would hang around the skatepark and always be hanging out with kids 3-4 years older than him. He would be around it but didn’t try it till he was 11 years old. Starting at such a young age it had introduced 6thGen to a lifestyle much older than him. That’s when the real trouble began. 6thGen would get in fights at school, get in trouble for vandalism, and had trouble at home for the bad grades. He was suspended from school multiple times threw out middle school mainly for vandalism, but when he got into the 9th grade he decided to actually try and act like a normal student.

6thGen joined the football team, the wrestling team, and cleaned up his act a little bit. He quit football after 1 year, but continued to wrestle for another year. Once he had gotten into high school everything went back to the way it was before. 6thGen started to hate school when he lost his friend group because he got sent to the high school on the north side of his city, and his friends went to the one more on the south side. 6thGen did not like the kids that went to his school at first because they were “preppy” and “fake”. he says: “it was kind of like Instagram. they all just put on a show for each other when low key their all doing the same shit. drugs, drinking, and having sex.” “Growing up in a Mormon culture everyone tries to hide their sin, and shame others for theirs. when in reality they all do the same shit.”

6thGen’s sophomore year he got into trouble with truancy, and drug abuse, which led to probation, and fines. This just made him want to rebel even more, and not want to be at school. Half way thru his junior year he got caught with some friends selling multiple kinds of drugs at school, and around the city. He was quickly expelled from his high school and sent to an alternative school. At that school he had gotten his high school diploma. Even though he was the first to graduate in his family out of his siblings, 6thGen was not having the best of time.

when only two weeks after his 18th birthday he went to jail for the first time for 2 underage drinking tickets. 3 months after graduation and only 2 months after his 18th birthday August 22, 2014 he got caught distributing marijuana and picked up 3 felony charges and 9 class A misdemeanors. Which pushed him to hate the system even more when he got trapped in it. With facing a minimum of 5 to 15 years in the state prison 6thGen was introduced to a lawyer from his counselor. The lawyer worked his magic and got 6thGen off with 30 days of ankle monitoring and 3 years of adult probation and parole. 6thGen successfully completed the 30 days of ankle monitoring, but did not complete the terms of the 3 year probation when he was caught “fleeing” in St. Louis.

When 6thGen got back he was requested to see the judge immediately. February 29th 2016 6thGen was sentenced to 2 months in the Utah County Jail for absconding from probation and picking up new charges when he had open cases as a juvenile. After 6thGen got out of Jail he had to reinstate in adult probation and parole for another 3 years. This time around he was put on a strict watch having to submit to drug tests once a week, check in, in person in the office twice a week, and he had to get a regular job that proved pay stubs. After just 9 months of 6thGen doing everything he was supposed and paying off his hefty fine. He was successfully terminated from the system.

In 2017 6thGen went out to work with his friends traveling from state to state working a sales job. He would sell security systems door to door. Seems ironic when he had burglary charges in the past. After a year of doing that he decided from friends influence 6thGen decided that he would turn his pass time hobby of writing raps and poetry into something more serious February of 2018 Dallon Gaje Wilkerson became 6thGen. Being introduced to his now producer Simba aka big dusty from his friend/business partner TreDayTD they recorded their first song together and 6thGen’s first song ever. Later to go on to record many more tracks that are unreleased. (over 200 songs)

When 6thGen finally felt confident, and comfortable enough to release, he released his first track on July 5th 2018 song titled “6 Strings” featuring his ex girlfriend “Tena” (Mckenna Ann Martinez) and to go on 3 days later July 8th 2018 to release “Est. 1996” 6thGen’s first solo single both on Soundcloud. 2 months later 6thGen was booked for his first show in Salt Lake City, Utah at the Kilby Court Venue in downtown. (Artist such as Schoolboy Q, Mac Miller, and Jay rock Etc.… have performed there.) One week before his first performance on September 20th 2018 he recorded “Kucci Felt” Featuring “TreDayTD” to have something more crowd receptive. 6thGen released “Kucci Felt” September 29, 2018 and it is now at 25,000+ streams on spotify dated (January 10, 2018). The day after his first show he was booked for another show at the “Loading Dock” in downtown Salt Lake City in the same parking lot as “Club X” he went back in the studio a.s.a.p. to record an unreleased track titled “Art” featuring “TreDayTD” to have some fresh content to perform at the new show on October 12th 2018 he performed his second show ever.

Since then 6thGen and TreDayTD have formed a crew called the “Lost Valley Boys” also known as “L.V.B.” that crew consists of 3 artists: 6thGen, TreDayTD, and Cvlly.
