Born on the south side of Chicago, he found his niche in the entertainment industry rather swiftly, appearing on TV shows like Nip Tuck, The Doctors, and 12 Corozones, as well as commercials for brands like Red Bull, Chase Bank, and Virgin Mobile. Soon after Milan started doing music videos with major musicians like Kanye West, The Game, Lil Wayne, & Neyo.
It wasn't until Milan worked with Beyoncé on "Haunted" that he realized he wanted to focus on his solo rap career and concentrate on his own brand. Milan released his EDM rap single "Burning Up,” which earned him the spot as the number one indie artist in the country six weeks in a row on Digital Radio tracker.
