Born Oct. 18th 1980, native to Seattle, WA. Anamosity started writing music at the age of 16, shortly after the murder of his favorite rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. Two years later, due to growing up in gang life, Anamosity would end up encarcerated at McNeil Island Correctional Center outside Tacoma, WA for a 15 month prison sentence. Upon his release, Anamosity linked up with childhood friend Brian ($krilla) Hamre and met local legend Alan (Sarkastik) Wright who helped start Twomp-O-Six Records. Anamosity would go on to become Sarkastik's hype man under Street Level Records & Wiseworks Management, while never releasing any official projects with the label. 
It wasn't until meeting Anthony (Flatline aka Tony Mafia) Lauderdale in Westpark's section 8 housing in 2004, that his first group project was released with $krilla & Puget Sound Underground Records, Rhyme or Kryme - "Dark Street EP". In 2007 Anamosity attended Shoreline Community College for audio engineering, but due to having twin sons shortly after was forced to drop out after the first 2 quarters. While working at a furniture building warehouse to support the recent additions to his family, Anamosity met 2 of the members to his second group "The Crew", which consisted of 6 members. They would go on to record a mixtape called "U Know Who It Iz...Vol. 1" which gained a huge buzz in the uk and gained attention from DJ Smallz & Manager Frank Nitti.

Shortly after the group disbanded, the two main members Anamosity & Apocalyptic Started a new group called Prolificc and in 2009 dropped their "Death Before Dishonor Mixtape". During this time they both became affiliated with the artist management company known as GNJ Management. Due to their differences about the business, they decided to pursue their own solo music careers. In 2010 Anamosity would officially start his own record label called "Heavy Grind Entertainment" and clothing line "Heavy Grind Apparel". That same year Anamosity would release his first solo project "Luv Me or Hate Me Mixtape". During the peak of 2010, he produced, managed, and promoted for close to a dozen local artists. 
The next few years Anamosity kind of took a break from the mainstream music scene, releasing a gospel rap album titled "Big Dreams", for his family and kids. After moving to Michigan State then back to the Pacific Northwest in 2014, Anamosity spent the next couple years developing his graphic design and beat production skills. It wasn't until the end of 2016, that Anamosity decided to release his second solo project "Broken Dreams".
