Before that, it is believed he spent his childhood, preteens, and his first teenage year living in Oakland, California, before moving to Texas for a short period. Chuuwee has a style unique to Northern Californians, smooth, smokey, street savvy, world conscious, & political lyrics, which set him apart from other Hip Hop Artists and Rappers.

In 2011 Anyextee officially signed Chuuwee as a recording artist to the Amalgam Digital record label joining the home of Joe Budden, Curren$y, Lil B and other notable acts.
