He broke into the music industry this year by staying consistent and utilizing his resources. The FTL in his name stands for “From The Land” symbolizing that he is from Cleveland, and Jaii comes from his real name, Jaiden, but he added and extra “i” because “you need two eyes to see the vision.”

He wants to illustrate that you can be a young kid from a tough place and still make it.
