MY STORY
š£ļøEverything I SAY I stand for! In my early 20s I hustled hard to get what I wanted nothing stopped me. Whether it was producing music for the boys or just been creative with my skillsets.
Ā
I produced beats, mixed mastered my own music. Collab with solid artist. I thought Smoking weed was Dope ā¬ ļø No pun attended I just had the world in the palm of my hands.
Ā
I was introduced to alot of faces,Ā I witnessed quick slots of fame & lows. I experinced Drugs Money & sex, Gang affiliation thinking they were my family. My parents moved me and my brother from new Zealand to Australia to settle in for a healthier and successful life.
Ā
š£ļøThis is what I thought Iād not do was to bring back the Nzl my past into my early 20s in Australia.
Ā
I got back on. Kept everything quiet played the game I was hella exposed to heat I never wanted to mention anything to my friends & family itās like the code was embedded in me.
My young me was kinda altered to a way where my outer body showed I was ok and humble but deep down I was carrying in me some sort of entity that just attracted alot of successful experiencesĀ that was out of my control.
Ā
I started slanging Red nose keep pitbulls I was selling urban dog accessories spiked collars just coz I can.
Ā
I built my own little foundation for my music & my brothers we formed a group
JUSDABLOCK PRODUCTIONS & we carried that name everywhere we went with pride.
Ā
MY POPS PASSED I FELL BACK TO DRUG ADDICTIONš š½āāļø
Ā
Eventually the game caught up to me. I feel deep into depression / PTSD when I experienced this cold as feeling that early morning from a Bikie I never knew thatāll happen to me. The dandenong pigs smoked me in the pigs station when I provided a NO COMMENT interview everything went down hill.
Ā
MY NANZ PASSED I TURNED TO DRINKINGš š½āāļø
Ā
As I got older I realized there was more to life then what I was experiencing I had kids, IĀ became a father & lived like a normal family should. I cherished these moments I grew to become closer to who I was.
Ā
But then spilt with the mother of my kids. My youngest was 9mnths I had to say goodbye to him as he was crawling to my legs I was fkn lost! I had no idea what I was doing I was falling.
I eventually found a home within 2days god blessed me for this reason as the mum just Kicked me out she wanted her own space to grieve.
Ā
Thatās what men do move & sacrifice everything to gain.
Ā
I moved into my new home in cranbourne west with no appliances, no furniture, no beds no nothing I left my dodge nitro SUV with the mum I left everything there for my kids.
Ā
I didnāt sleep for days from having to see my sonās everyday Especially my eldest been 2 1/2 years to not even hearing a sound in sight crickets, the sound of my breath the sound of my pounding heart is all I heard in the dead of the night.
Ā
Tears rolling down thinking WDF am I doing what am I going to do now. I had to regain everything back especially confidence because my kids were my everything.
Ā
Until right Now again the mother has taken my kids away from me even though child support is on a payment plan I canāt pay for her lifestyle I was advised by my lawyer to not make contact.
I havenāt heard or seen them. No photos. No updates no social media updates because I had to block the whole family because I know 1000% how I am going to be pictured as itās always 2 sides to the story but taking my kids away from me Hurt me the most.
Ā
But Iām a SOLDIERĀ I always have been I will not let myself down and as a man I forgive her for whatās sheās done, I just want to see my kids. I canāt afford to be bitter and use my kids as power trips because another party is going through something difficult.
Ā
We all are going through tough times Iām on my 2nd eviction letter Iām doing everything possible to stay afloat!
Ā
Without GOD I DONT THINK Iāll be alive right now BUT I THANK GOD FOR THE PERSON I AM TODAY
Ā
BECAUSE right now all I know is IM BUILT FOR THIS!
Ā
GOD PLACED me in these challenges TO TEST ME to see if I can manage my mental health. If I couldnāt then I canāt help others.
Ā
RIGHT NOW IM DRUG FREE LIVING THE SOBRIETY LIFE!
Ā
Hitting the gym! living by my principles. Have 2 mentors supporting me. & a supportive family by my side. My nutrition is on point my body fat has decreased my protein intake & muscle mass has increased.
Ā
My mindset IS POWERFUL
Ā
I will never give up on myself like I nearly did in my past. My kids need me.
Ā
But most importantly I know my purpose
Ā
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO CAN RELATE TO ME
Ā
I wasnāt born in a happy home but I create my reality & make sure my days are only happy and positive!
Ā
For everyone that has supported me till now you know what I have in offer for yous! But to the ones who fell off & want to know me again šš½
