At the age of 16, his family relocated to Virginia Beach, VA. He took up an interest in music and began interning at a recording studio called "TMH (The Music House)". Before long, the studio owner, David Velazquez, taught Theo how to engineer and produce recordings of his own, making him the head engineer and business manager of the studio. In his early twenties, he entered into a business partnership with David and they began a production company called "QSL Entertainmentt". Theo started a hip hop group named "Black Reign" with his friends Shante "L.U.V." Holland and Donshay "Big Qweezy" Gregory.
