From Keysville, Georgia comes an artist who has been dedicated to music since the age of sixteen. Known as Setta706, his journey in the industry has been filled with highs, setbacks, and powerful lessons that continue to shape his path forward.
Music became a passion for him early on because of the way it can change an atmosphere and touch people’s lives. That spark grew as he explored different sounds, from rap and RnB to pop and dance. In high school, he was already showing his musical versatility by playing brass instruments and drums, laying the foundation for the artist he would later become.
His inspirations reflect a deep love for hip hop and its greats. Icons like 2Pac, Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, UGK, Tela, TI, Jay Z, Biggie, and Missy Elliott have all left their mark on Setta’s artistry. Their influence pushed him to craft music that blends storytelling, rhythm, and emotion in a way that connects with listeners on multiple levels.
At just nineteen years old, Setta706 signed his first deal. What should have been the start of something big instead became a hard lesson. Due to the decisions of his former management team, he ended up sitting on the shelf without the support an artist needs to thrive. While that experience was frustrating, it also gave him the resilience to move independently. Since 2018, he has been releasing music on his own terms as a free agent, proving that his drive and creativity cannot be held back.
Along the way he has achieved milestones that many artists dream of. He has worked on singles with industry heavyweights like Pharrell, Gucci Mane, and 2 Chainz, complete with visuals that showcase his talent and presence. Getting signed at such a young age may have slowed his momentum at first, but now it stands as proof of his potential and the level of attention his work has always attracted.
Today, Setta706 continues to build on his catalog, focused on creating music that resonates while preparing for even bigger stages. His journey is a testament to perseverance, artistry, and the power of staying true to your vision. With his experience and dedication, it is clear that Setta706 is just getting started.
