Damond's recording career officially began at age 13, when he was inspired by family members beatboxing and beating on tables in the tradition admired by hip hoppers worldwide. As he began writing and articulating his thoughts in a complex world he interpreted through music, everything from New Orleans' second line jazz tradition to the world famous Cash Money and No Limit Records inspired him.
