He first garnered attention when he appeared on the rap competition TV show Show Me the Money 10 in 2021.

Yoon Seung-min was born on January 23, 2000, in Anyang, Gyeonggi and grew up in Gijang, Busan. In 2019, he applied to the Vans "Musician Wanted" contest and was selected as the Top 5. Later that year, he moved to Seoul to pursue his music career.
