Raga-Z was born in Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. As a child, he was exposed to music whilst attending church with his mother, Beverly. This played a major role in encouraging his love for music and planted the seeds for his talents to grow. He was also introduced to the culture of reggae music through his father who began to notice Raga’s potential and passion for the art and encouraged him.
Although times were not always easy growing up, his determination to succeed as a reggae artist never went away, in fact they only became stronger. In his free time, he even found himself doing things such as creating instruments using paint pans to make a beat to play while he would DJ .

As he grew older, he and his cousins used to sneak out of the house to go and listen to sounds of Sterograph , Stereo One, and Killamanjaro. He also began to work with and learn from sounds such as Black Scorpio, King Jammys, King Agony, Love Rock, View Master,
