NUCKY'S BIO
Nucky Breaux Jr. was born in New Orleans, La on April 28, 1981 to Nucky and Anna Breaux. At an early age he grew a love for music sneeking and listening to his father's Ohio Players records. In 1994 his mom and dad split up and he, his mom, and his little brother move to Port Arthur, Texas where he was introduced to southern hip-hop from a local group called U.G.K.. He quickly became a fan trying to attain all the music he could, but at this time the family was moving to a town called Fort Worth,Texas another new experience but it didn't matter just as long as he had his walkman and his 2 Low tape he was able to escape. See music was much more than tapping your feet it meant free expression for the aspiring artist but little did he know music would play a big part in his life when he abruptly lost his father in a Dec. 20th 1998 shooting.
Music became his escape and the only sane thing that was going on at the moment. So, in 1999 he hooked up with long time friends Jibri "J-Bri" Duncan and Antoine "Tonn Deep" Kendrix and started recording music and grew a love for hearing his own voice. But, it wasn't until the untimely death of long time friend Eric Williams that he decided to take this serious. So he, Antoine "Tonn Deep" Kendrix and another close friend Mondrell "Gent Eastwood" Gentry formed the group Dawg Life. The name DAWG LIFE is an acronym for Dis All We Got Love Is For Ever. The group has multiple albums and mixtapes to date which can be found @ dawgliferecords.com. Learning the business through smart and no so smart business moves, the trio created Dawg Life Records to put out there own music as well as help other talents. Nucky has his hand in all aspects of the business not only is he a recording artist, he is a certified audio engineer, an accomplished photographer and graphic designer, and aspiring entrepreneur. Nucky is a risk taker but he always says "my safest business is music because my music is from my heart and following your heart will never lead u wrong."
Recently, Nucky has embarked on a solo career releasing his debut solo album "privately" but the album will be available to the masses at a later date. He has since been releasing songs with The Slip Records an up and coming independent record label and working on projects with Dawg Life most recently, Somebody's Gotta Do It! Vol. 1 a mixtape dedicated to their late Friend Eric "Somebody" Williams. With all this, Nucky still maintains his own label like he says "its liberating to own and create your own music with total control." He also co-owns Xavier Jordan Photography, Fresh Baked Designs, and iAMG Clothing Co. With all this going on he still spends time with his daughter and wife cause he believes "without a stable home life you don't have much to build on." Nucky has a lot of projects going on but he still is able to keep focus on his love music.
"You have know who you are to know where you are and music is who I am." -Nucky Breaux Jr.
