Supa *Six formally known as *Six Nine is an American songwriter, producer, recording artist and an aspiring film director. He discovered his love for the arts at the age of 7, and by the time he was 12 he had already recorded numerous amounts of tapes. Rap was his first love, but he eventually discovered that his talent surpassed that far more than he could imagine. “The greatest gift of all, to me was not having,” Six say’s, “Not having forced me to learn how to do the things that I needed done; I couldn’t afford studio time nor a producer so I found a way to do it myself.” Six started making beats on a radio shack keyboard that he received as a gift one Christmas. Soon after, he began to make beats for not only himself, but a plethora of local and regional artist. “Back then I didn’t know what I was doing. I had no idea that I was taking my first steps to become a music producer,” Six said. From shutting down talent shows, to performing at parties and even guest Djing at the local radio station, where ever there was music; he was there. Not only was he awesome on the M.I.C, he was also a basketball M.V.P. He ranked #16 in the nation and was a D1 prospect for Division One schools such as FSU, Famu, Ga, Iowa and many more. By the time he was 17 Six stood a whopping 6 foot 8, hence the name *Six Nine. After sending out over 100 demo tapes and performing at hundreds of parties, finally there was light at the end of the tunnel. One of his demo tapes landed in the hands of an A&R rep for Body Head Entertainment, a label owned by professional boxer Roy Jones Jr. That A&R also happen to be the son of the legendary Butch Lewis who promoted fights for Muhammad Ali, Michael Spinks, Mike Tyson, and more. Butch Lewis decided he would take Six under his wing to work with his label Voicez Music Group/Def jam. Still unsigned Six had the opportunity to work with major artist and producers. In 2006 he earned a spot in The Source Magazine Unsigned Hype column. That following year he was featured in Hip Hop Weekly. Six went on to produce and write songs for artist signed to Universal, Capitol, Jive, Slip N Slide and more. Keep your eyes and ears open as he continues to strive for success in the entertainment industry.
