Denzel Valentine grew up in Lansing, MI. It was there at his high school J.W. Sexton, that Valentine began to indulge in free styling in the hallways with his friends. He turned this hobby into a full-fledged passion as he got older, this music passion went on through college. That all came off the court, away from Chicago Bulls basketball.
It was at Michigan State that he honed his craft and really began to indulge more deeply in his love for music. His father introduced him to music at a young age, his father instilled a passion of music in him as a young boy.
