Influenced by legends like Bounty Killer and Beenie Man, stylaforlife developed a deep appreciation for the rhythmic beats, infectious melodies, and expressive lyrics of dancehall music. Growing up immersed in their powerful, captivating sounds, he was inspired not only by their musical talents but also by the cultural storytelling embedded within their songs. Bounty Killer’s fierce energy and Beenie Man’s smooth delivery shaped his understanding of the genre’s ability to both entertain and convey deep emotions, sparking his passion to create music that resonated with listeners on a personal level.
Before music became a real pursuit, Stylaforlife was just a kid soaking up the sounds around him—drawn to rhythm, energy, and expression. Everything changed when he discovered Vybz Kartel, whose bold lyrics and innovation sparked a need to create. In high school, he threw himself into dancehall, spending endless hours writing, recording, and shaping a style that was raw, rhythmic, and true to his roots. After moving to Philadelphia, music took a backseat for a while, but the fire never faded—it just waited for the right time to reignite.
While living in Philadelphia, Stylaforlife developed a deep connection to hip-hop’s raw storytelling and gritty realism. Influenced by the intensity of DMX and the lyrical creativity of Eminem, he began blending these elements with his dancehall roots. The result was a hybrid sound—bold, authentic, and emotionally charged—merging dancehall’s infectious energy with hip-hop’s introspective power, and laying the foundation for his evolving style.
With a renewed purpose, Stylaforlife moved to Toronto, where the city’s vibrant scene reignited his passion. There, he launched Anovybz Music to shape and share his evolving sound. Blending dancehall’s rhythm with hip-hop’s edge, his music pairs infectious beats with raw, honest lyrics. Now, he’s aiming to collaborate with icons like Kevin Gates, Busta Rhymes, Vybz Kartel, and rising star CountryBoss—carving his own lane through passion, persistence, and vision.
