Born in 1972 in Los Angeles, California, I Self Devine exists as a testament of survival. Raised in the brutal streets during the gang and government funded crack epidemic, he strived for understanding and deeper meaning to life's movement.

In 1980, when I Self was only eight years old, his dad left him and his mother on Christmas day.
