Early Life

At a young age, Lord Skrt wanted to become a dolphin trainer after swimming with dolphins in Panama City. In 2019, he entered the University of North Florida, although he soon changed his decision and went on a completely different journey, choosing to become a psychologist. But that didn’t last long either. Skrt ended up changing his path one more time and set his mind on something he enjoyed, arguing and law. While he worked hard to focus on his schoolwork, he wrote songs, making beats and trying to produce new vibes. He did this effortlessly and without it interfering with his school studies. He tries to be low-key in school but it has become harder and harder to go places due to so many people wanting to engage with him, take pictures with him, and get autographs.
