He is the third born of two sisters and a brother. He again relocated to Akim Oda in the Eastern Region Ghana to stay with his uncle for a while due to the death of his father, where he attended Oda Senior High School even though he gained admission at Accra Academy Senior High School.
The name DaPrince was given to him by an old man who happened to be passing around the spot where he was having a freestyle session with a couple of friends in 2016.
In Senior High School, he was known for his debut studio single dubbed “Thug life” which featured the then rap group, DPE, Dirty Psycho Entertainment, which was made up of Minie, JQ and Yoga Swag Mo (Now DJ Yoga).

He attended MMCE college in 2009 where he thrilled the student body with a lot of amazing songs such as Swirl, Odo, Only One, etc and was made the President of the ENTERCOM in 2010 due to the musical side of his world which he won with no competition and not much campaign and proceeded to the Valley View University.
