Early life

Gordon grew up in Tottenham, north London, to a family of Jamaican heritage, [1] and was raised by his single mother alongside his brother and sister. [5] He attended St Paul's and All Hallows infant and junior school, alongside Jme, before attending Aylward secondary school in Edmonton alongside Bloodline Crew's Big H and Bossman Birdie. [5]

Many of his early jobs were in the hospitality industry, and he briefly worked as a primary school teacher, having studied teaching at Middlesex University; [5] he was working as a sales manager before leaving the role to pursue DJing and online streaming full-time. [6]

Personal life

Gordon is divorced and a father of two. [5]

Career

From the age of 16, Gordon was an amateur MC in the grime scene, going by the stage name Untitled. [5] He was a part of a crew called Infamous Killers alongside Black the Ripper, and appeared as an MC on Heat FM alongside Chip's Shoddy Crew; he later appeared regularly on the Enfield internet radio station Axe FM, where he would clash other artists, and released several mixtapes, beginning with his debut mixtape Misconceptions in 2008. [5] He later formed the crew Behave Yourself alongside Messy, Evolver and Rogue, released the 2009 mixtape Mind Warp and the four-part 2010 EP series Try Me, and left Axe FM due to a belief that emerging streaming services such as Ustream would be a better tool for promoting his music for free. [7]

Gordon began online streaming as a DJ in 2022 [5] and shifted to outdoor DJ sets in 2023, performing in public locations around London including squares, car parks, and housing estates. The sets often attract large crowds of passers-by and are broadcast online to audiences on TikTok. [8]

Recognition

In 2024, Gordon was named Time Out Londoner of the Year for his contribution to the city’s cultural life. [1] In 2025, he received the UK Entertainment Award for Best Social Impact. [9]
