Born to Christina Sanders and father unknown, Uneek int’s life began with diverse complications. It was, Portland Oregon, February 7, 1986...This journey began with atrocity from the start, at birth he was pronounced deceased due to pregnancy complications, and he shortly began to tell his story in life. As the Doctors called it, (the time of death) Uneek int took his first breath and started his foundation of a mega star, waiting to be discovered.
With 3 sisters awaiting his arrival you could only imagine the disbelief that he had made it through. Due to the doctors saying he would never survive, yet the tragedies keep coming. At age of 8, again Uneek Int was faced with a strong angel at his side as the school bus driver veered off the median and caused the unfortunate capsule of children to fight for their very lives, rolling 17 times and being hit again and again from oncoming traffic. Uneekint regained consciousness from the comma he was in, and stood up and walked away. Again at age13 he was forced to eat out of McDonalds trash cans, due to homeless and riddled with peer pressure to join the street family and rob, shoot and kill just to belong, although he refused to gain form of attention, he did have to still survive. Bulling began and just to protect himself from the wars of the street, he had to steel his first weapon no matter what, at the same time asking “Where is my guardian angel at now”. At 16yrs old Uneek Int was faced with the survival angel again, as he was thrown out of his friend’s bronco and smashed into a tree, yet his wings did spread this time allowing him to get on his feet and get his life together, so he hit the studio.
In thanking God for another brush with death, and winning, his legacy, a pillar to sit on, he gained. He decided to create music and let this take on a drastic, yet positive turn. He chose to loose in the street life, and let the music alone, finally speak to him. Now it was time to make a plan and execute. He knew that his course of life at that moment would only put him in the grave, and he wanted to live, he wanted to tell his side of what has happened to him through music, sharing his deep emotions as he felt so many times before alone, with no one at his side, no one to confide in. So he picked up his pencil and lost himself in lyrics. Uneek Int had to hustle to make the fee for the studio, selling his first bag of pot at the age of 15, he lived on the streets, falling asleep in alley ways, taking shelter at the covered bus stops and singing loudly through the rain. Right near the local studio he would live, through all forms of weather just be the first one in. Music was his outlet of the pit falls of disparity. He just had to do what it took, no matter what to be heard. So he began bartering for studio time, washing windows, cleaning the floors, it didn’t matter what they were asking; he would humbly do, for he knew this was his destiny. He’d get it done.I asked Uneekint “What makes you so special” his reply, “My heart, and my drive, Hell, I knew then the signs were telling me my life was very important and I had to tell a message,. I was raised and left to die in the streets but I knew to work hard, to get where I want to be, to take the bad times and build off of them, not to let them get me down or locked up, I pushed and I motivated myself, I let the world be my teacher”. He stated.
He looks up to Baby Face, since they both came from a similar background but through those struggles and hard times in life they still didn't let it bring them down. He loved to study him, so much that he dreamed of being him on that stage, Baby Face’s audience would call out Uneek Int instead of Baby Face. Uneek Int had to make this work. "Initially I wanted to be Muhammad Ali. But then I got into a fight and I got my butt kicked, so I figured ,I could choose something else." Stated: Baby Face.
With this being his motto, UneekInt chose to sing, write and produce. To be just like his idol Baby Face was his goal. Only to discover who he is and what he stands for in life’s trial and eras he have been in so many rings , but you know what, he grew tired of getting those black eyes from the universe, so Uneek Int says it’s his time, and what he is doing musically just works for him! He has gained the listeners ear, reaching over 1million fans and followers.
He has collaborations with many and still keeps improving, with being a Universal, Sony/Ioda digital distributed artist , Uneek Int continues to build his presence within the industry.. From working with Brick Squad, project “ ” ,Yong Mo ,project “Special” , Teel from Tech 9 project ” “ , Og Clue project “ My Life” and now his latest collaboration of Dante Bacote: Actor/Model/Artist/Producer/Writer project at this time undisclosed.
Uneekint stands for complication, yet full of adverse reasons, and full of messages, strong messages that I want the world to hear. Yes, he knows his journey is going to be long and rough. But UneekInt will look forward to stepping on every stoop and leaving behind my legacy. He wants others to know that good music is out there and if you put your mind to it, no matter what the accomplishment they are only fingertips away.
UneekInt has worked with many artists to help build their platform, with being signed to a label at 19yrs old, Ghetto Rise Records, to start his career, only to acknowledge that his goals were not those of the labels, the contract was worked to term and he was back on the market. Currently, his career as and independent artist is taking off.
“I have always had a strong passion for music ever since I was born so I practiced hard and studied every day to get to know the real fundamentals behind music and by the age of 15, I started recording and developing my own unique style that no one has ever touched so far. What I am looking forward to in life is to stand behind the youth and to become a positive influence for them .I had Baby Face, Michael Jackson look up to as a great role model when I was young. Now someday, no.. today, I want to and will be our youth’s positive role model. I will give them hope and help build their character and I will let them know that hard work does and will pay off. As Nike says: Just Do It”- Uneek Int -
