Bio
The story began in Valdosta, Georgia. At the age of 7, the child that would
eventually be known as Scar Dirty was involved in a car accident that
nearly claimed his life. Rushed to South Georgia Medical Center, Scar Dirty
clung to life as doctors performed plastic surgery on a large portion of
his forehead. The physical scars eventually healed, but by the age of 12,
they were replaced by the emotional scars caused by witnessing his father
beat his mother. The abuse began to affect every aspect of Dirty's life. He
began to self destruct; failing classes, getting into fights, even
considering suicide. His mother attempted to save his life by placing him
and his brother in a group camp that allowed them to talk about their
problems with child psychologists. The program appeared to be working but a
year later, Dirty slipped back into a rut. His father was continually in
and out of the prison system, and continued to take his aggression out on
Dirty's mother.To escape his world of turmoil and adversity, Scar Dirty
picked up a pen and began to write about his problems. He started with
poems which later turned into songs. As time went on, his life became a
never-ending supply of song material - he never needed to exaggerate.
Eventually his mother and father would separate, freeing her of the abuse
she had endured for so many years. On August 25th, 2000, Scar Dirty
received news that could at best be called bittersweet. His father was
found lying dead in his apartment. It was his birthday… from this point
on he called himself Scar, because of the emotional and physical scars that
life has left on him. Growing up in a small community where everyone played
sports, worked, or went to the armed forces after high school didn't sit
well with Scar, but saying that he wanted to be a rapper didn't fit well
with everyone else. His peers simply laughed when he spoke of what he
wanted to do with his life. But he couldn't blame them as Valdosta had
never had anybody make it out the hood doing music. Scar Dirty decided that
he would dedicate the rest of his life proving those people wrong, but most
of all proving to himself that anything is possible. At the age of 16 he
dropped out of high school because he felt like it wasn’t teaching him
what he needed to know in order to be successful in the rap industry. He
could already read, write, add and subtract, so he quit school to focus
solely on his music.
Day after day, Scar Dirty writes and records new songs, crafting his work
to express his unique outlook on life. Influenced by Artist such as Master
P, 2Pac,50 cent, Kurt Cobain, and many more great artist and performers.
Scar has taken the stories of his life, the desires of his dreams and mixed
them with the thoughts a one of a kind Vampotic Philosophy manifested in
