Hashtag Deep is a 21 year old Hip Hop musician and producer born in and raised in Soweto, until the age of 12, when he moved to Polokwane in Limpopo, to follow his mother and ultimately spend his highschool career. In his time growing up in Soweto, he would be force fed music by the likes of Ringo, Brenda Fassie and Anita Baker, without realizing it would play a role in his future.

In grade 10, he made friends who were fans of House music, and ended up taking a high interest in the genre, then making the decision to plan to go study sound engineering after highschool, even though he had no access to music making software and hardware. In late 2011, he made new friends who were fans of underground Hip Hop, and then he started taking an interest in rapping and poetry, later on focusing solely on the art of rapping.
