Case was born December 18 in New York and grew up in various New York City projects with his parents and two younger sisters. While the family struggled financially, they often found solace in music. “We didn’t have much”, says Case “but there was always music in the household.”

Introduced to music by his father, (briefly a member of the group Cameo) Case believes music is in his blood. At the age of 5, he would perform constantly for family and friends in his living room. Often singing together with his father deepened Case’s already growing love of music and created a lifelong bond between them.

“I wanted to sing so bad. I was willing to leave everything behind” - Case

At 19, Case began working for the New York Housing Authority while spending all his free time producing demos, singing and writing music. He continued to work for the Housing authority until his work schedule conflicted with studio time he wanted. Case left his job and never looked back.
