He expanded his writing and singing skills through the early year hip hop such as Nate Dogg and Wyclef Jean and a wide picture of sound using vocals and good instrumentation.

Quest’s later years throughout his high school, he began to write his own rhymes and formed a group of boys named J.M.S (Juicy Mouth Squad) which later reduced to 4 boys band and it was renamed Ex-N (Meaning Ex-Nefarious). TQuest left the group in 2003 when he signed a deal with Vision Gate Music and when the deal was no longer favorable, TQuest moved on to get things done his own way.

In 2013, after the release of My Love song that featured Zee and Blow my mind which gained much attention on the social network and radio stations, a foundation began to build.

In the spirit of unifying the world, same vision brought TQuest and Jawon together in 2015 on a great collaboration with the mindset of using music as a unifying tool to preach peace, unity and love and they lunched “ONE LOVE”.

This is a movement and it’s supposed to be a part of us our everyday doing regardless of our culture, tribe and colour.
