Raised in Syracuse, Mineo began rapping and producing albums in his home studio while still in high school. Originally going by the stage name of C-Lite, Mineo was signed to Syracuse University’s Marshall Street Records and opened for such acts as the Roots and Common. While in college, Mineo reconnected with his faith via a meeting with producer Alex Medina and the urban evangelism project T.R.U.C.E.

That same year he released his second mixtape, Formerly Known. In 2013 Mineo returned with his proper full-length studio album, Heroes for Sale. In 2014 he released the EP Never Land, and then 2015 saw the release of the hit single “Lay Up” along with the album Uncomfortable.
