AC is an independent hip-hop artist and audio engineer from Oceanside, California. He is known for his raw lyricism, storytelling, and hands-on approach to music production. Before stepping into rap, AC was a poet who waded words with depth and emotion.
His journey into hip-hop started in 2015 when a late-night car ride changed everything. A friend played G-Eazy's Shoot Me Down from the These Things Happen album, sparking a realization—his poetry could evolve into something more significant. From that moment, AC began freestyling in cars, classrooms, and his bedroom, sharpening his craft.
Influenced by Joyner Lucas, Tory Lanez, Lil Tjay, Charlie Puth, and Karri, he dedicated himself to developing a unique sound that blends lyricism with melody and grit with soul.
Breakthrough Moment (2020 - Present)
In 2020, AC dropped a freestyle that caught fire when CNG, a rapper from Netflix's Rhythm & Flow, played it live on stream, exposing AC to 20,000+ listeners. This momentum led to a collaboration with Daniel Waste, resulting in a track that surpassed 50,000+ streams.
That same year, Daniel Waste produced, mixed, and mastered "Lessons Learned," featured on a live stream by iZotope, Inc., a major audio technology company. The track received industry recognition from renowned producers Realistic Productions, Love of Pharaoh, and Amond Jackson, further solidifying AC's credibility.
Independent Success & Viral Growth (2022 - Present)
Determined to take complete control of his sound, AC became a self-taught mixing & mastering engineer in 2020 and expanded into producing his beats in 2022.
