Rising Stars: Meet Generation BMG of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Generation BMG.

Hi Generation, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I grew up in Savannah surrounded by music. Before I ever stepped into a studio, band music was my foundation. It taught me rhythm, discipline, passion, and how music could move people without saying a single word. Back then, I didn’t know exactly where life would take me — I was bullied, didn’t really fit in, and had a different upbringing then most but I just knew music was always gonna be a part of who I was.
Everything really changed in 9th grade when I met one of my closest friends and brothers, Keesh. He was the person who introduced me to recording music and opened the door to a whole new world for me. What started as experimenting in the studio turned into a real passion and eventually a lifestyle. He helped me realize I could actually become an artist and create my own lane instead of following everybody else’s.

From there, it was years of grinding — working on my sound, building my performance skills, networking, and getting my face out there. It wasn’t always easy because I never wanted to move like everybody else or sound like everybody else. I always had my own approach, my own energy, and my own vision. Sometimes that made the journey harder, but I stayed true to myself no matter what.

At 16 years old, family problems forced me to grow up fast and figure life out on my own. I had to hustle and make a way for myself. For a little while I had my own house, but eventually I moved in with Keesh and slept on the couch while trying to keep my dreams alive. Even during the hardest times, I never stopped believing in what I was building.

After saving enough money, I made the move to Atlanta — and honestly, it felt like a complete reset. I came to Atlanta hungry. Ready to work. Ready to network. Ready to shake hands, meet people, and chase every goal I had for myself. One thing about me: I came to Atlanta with no intention of working a regular 9-to-5 job, and for the four years I’ve been here, I’ve stood on that.

Since being in Atlanta, I’ve built a name for myself not only as a music artist, but also as a DJ and entrepreneur. Through Delevoes Lobby, I’ve been able to grow as a Black-owned jeweler while continuing to build my brand and influence. I DJ for King of Diamonds and Ralo FamGoon, and my music has opened doors I used to only dream about. I’ve created records and connections with artists like DJ Luke Nasty, Trap Beckham, and many more. All those milestones are a whole story themselves lol. The battles never over and the struggles continue, but nothing stops me for remaining focused and striving towards my goals.

But underneath all the music, business, performances, and networking, I’m still just a kid trying to make a way — not only for myself, but for everybody who believed in me when all I had was a dream.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Growing up, I never really felt like I fit in. I was the kid that always seemed a little out of place. I got bullied a lot, not because I was trying to be different, but because I genuinely was different. I didn’t grow up around a lot of culture, so there were so many things other people naturally understood that I was completely oblivious to — movie references, certain trends, social cues, the way people talked and connected. It made making friends hard, and over time I became socially awkward without even realizing it.
A lot of people see confidence when they look at me now. They might think I’m cool, smooth, or naturally outgoing, but the truth is social interaction has always been a struggle for me. I’m naturally very to myself. Quiet. Observant. In my own world. But then there’s another side of me that can be outgoing, energetic, and full of personality. It’s always been a back-and-forth battle inside me — you just gotta catch it at the right moment.
Because of everything I dealt with growing up, music honestly felt discouraging at first. I was already getting picked on in everyday life, so in my mind, why would anybody care about my music or what I had to say? It was already hard enough just talking to people. But somehow, music became the one place where expressing myself felt natural. It turned emotions I struggled to say out loud into something people could feel. That’s what made it so easy to fall in love with.
Music became therapy for me. My release. My way of finally speaking without interruption.
Even now, I still walk with confidence while carrying those same nerves inside. Before performances, I still get stage jitters. Every single time. But I learned how to channel it. Once I grab that mic, it’s like I black out and let all the passion, pain, struggle, and emotion pour out of me at once. In those moments, I’m not thinking about fear anymore — I’m just giving people the realest version of myself possible.
One of the hardest parts of this journey has been learning how to deal with being loved and hated at the same time. The fake love. The fake support. The fake friendships. People smiling in your face while secretly doubting you or waiting on your downfall. When you got a heart like mine, that kind of stuff cuts deep. Because no matter how much this world shows you how cruel it can be, there’s still something inside of me that refuses to completely give up on people or humanity.
So I keep going.
I take every knife in the back, every disappointment, every betrayal, every sleepless night — and I still pave a way through the mud and concrete. Not because it’s easy, but because something inside me refuses to quit. I Carry Real Energy And Motion!

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At the core of everything I do, I’m a music artist first. Before the jewelry, before the DJ booths, before the networking and business moves — music was the first thing that gave me a voice. It’s the foundation of who I am. Every beat, every lyric, every performance carries pieces of my life, my pain, my growth, and my vision. No matter how many lanes I step into, music will always be home for me.
Along the journey, I was able to build myself into more than just an artist. I became a celebrity DJ, rocking stages and events for King of Diamonds and Ralo FamGoon. A lot of people may know me right now from DJing, and I respect it because I put real work into that craft too. I know how to control energy, move crowds, and create moments people remember. But at the same time, I’ve been making serious noise with my jewelry and my music — and sometimes you just gotta remind people what’s real.

Through Delevoes Lobby, I’ve been able to grow as a jeweler and entrepreneur while representing something bigger than myself. A Black-owned, GIA-certified company established in 2015, built from vision, struggle, passion, and hustle. Every piece means something to me because it represents elevation, exclusivity, and turning dreams into reality. I respect and glad to be apart of something great. Thank you Delevoe for accepting me and allowing me to build in a black company build from the ground up!

But more than any title or accomplishment, what I’m most proud of is the person I’ve remained through it all.

I’m proud that I take every loss on the chin and still stand tall, head high, ten toes down against whatever life throws at me. I’m proud that success never changed who I am. In a world where people switch up for clout, money, or attention, I stayed authentic, genuine, and humble. I never wanted to become somebody else just to fit an image.

And honestly, none of this would mean anything without the people who truly love and support me. The ones who believed in me before the lights, before the motion, before the recognition. I carry them with me in everything I do because I know I couldn’t have made it this far alone.

I think what really separates me from everybody else is my spirit. The fact that I can carry so much weight on my shoulders, deal with chaos behind closed doors, and still smile. Still motivate others. Still pour positivity into people even when my own life feels like it’s falling apart. That’s real strength to me. Not pretending life is perfect — but finding a way to keep going, keep inspiring, and keep believing anyway.

What matters most to you? Why?
More than money, recognition, success, or status, the things that matter most to me are loyalty, family, and being understood.
And to me, family has never just meant blood.
Growing up, I didn’t have a huge family circle. Honestly, I grew up with enough family to count on one hand. Because of that, the relationships I built outside of blood meant everything to me. The people I let close, the people I called brothers, sisters, friends — those bonds weren’t casual to me. I never viewed people as temporary. If I accepted you into my life, it was genuine. Real love. Real trust. Real loyalty.
That’s why there’s always been a thin line for me between a friend, an associate, an acquaintance, and family. Everybody can’t sit at the same table in my life. Everybody can’t get the same access to me. But when somebody does reach that level with me, it means I truly value them from the heart.
One thing about me that runs deeper than people realize is how much I value being understood. Not judged. Not assumed. Truly understood. I’ve spent so much of my life feeling different, misunderstood, or unable to fully explain what’s going on in my mind that when somebody genuinely understands me, it means everything. It brings peace to me.
Because when I feel unheard or misunderstood for too long, I shut down.
I fall into a headspace where I isolate myself, overthink everything, and go quiet. Not because I don’t care, but because sometimes it feels easier to disappear into myself than to keep trying to explain emotions people may never fully understand. That’s why communication, honesty, and genuine effort matter so much to me emotionally. I don’t expect perfection from people — I just value sincerity and understanding.
And because loyalty means so much to me, betrayal cuts deep.
When someone trades on that trust, switches up, lies, or crosses me, it doesn’t just affect that one relationship — it affects the way I move forward with people in general. It feeds the trust issues I already battle with and pushes me further into being antisocial and guarded. People always wonder why some of us move so cautiously or keep our circle small, but they don’t understand what it takes for us to trust in the first place.
I’ve always been the type to stand solid for the people I love. To show up. To protect. To support. To stay genuine whether somebody’s winning or losing. So when that energy isn’t returned, it changes something inside you.
That’s why loyalty means more to me than words. It’s consistency. It’s honesty. It’s standing on who you are when nobody’s watching. It’s being the same person behind closed doors that you are in public. In a world where people switch sides so easily, real loyalty feels rare — and because it’s rare, I value it deeply.
At the end of the day, I can forgive a lot of things, but fake love has always been one of the hardest things for me to accept. I’d rather have a small circle full of real people than be surrounded by a hundred fake connections.
Because to me, genuine love, loyalty, family, and feeling understood — whether by blood or by bond — are worth more than anything money could ever buy.
