Early life
Supa Bwe was raised by his English-born mother who is Black, Native American and Scottish. He attributes his music education to the music she exposed him to as a young child, including Punk and Metal bands such as Rage Against the Machine and Korn. His father is attributed with introducing him to Hip Hop. In an August 2016 interview in XXL Magazine he described the effect of these early influences, "I grew up listening to a wide array of music. My mom is from the United Kingdom and my dad is from the projects. I got a lot of punk influences and alternative rock, a lot of things from the 1990s. My pop, all that hood [stuff]. He loves Master P, Busta Rhymes, [stuff] like that. I got an introduction to both worlds."[7][8]
