B.L.I.N.D. was raised by a Haitian mother who taught him to prioritize his school work and to walk the straight line. However, his father battled a drug addiction and didn’t provide much reinforcement to his son. At age 13, B.L.I.N.D. endured a seizure caused by a blot clot on his brain, resulting in a two-week coma. Doctors gave his mother two choices - to unplug his life support or to wait it out with the odds that he’d be a vegetable. His mother chose to wait on his recovery, a testament to his life.

As B.L.I.N.D. grew older, he made a long list of bad choices—skipping classes and becoming an absentee father in his teen years. After hitting many walls, he realized that he needed to change some of the things he was doing. B.L.I.N.D. began attending church with his cousin, and in 2010 he was baptized. The transformation made him realize he had “Been Lost—I’m Now Delivered,” inspiring the name B.L.I.N.D.

B.L.I.N.D.’s music is a gift from God, and he hopes to continue making music inspired by his life without being put into a box. His newest single, “Go Get It,” is a go-getter’s anthem that encourages everyone to go after their dreams, whatever they may be.
