IM JACOBY MCKAY 24 YEARS OLD, BORN IN MONAHANS TEXAS ON MAY 6,1988, RAISED IN KERMIT TEXAS TILL ABOUT 6 years old, MOVED TO CARLSBAD NM WHERE I WAS RAISED THROUGH ALL MY CHILD HOOD DAYS THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL! WAS VERY ACTIVE IN SPORTS ALL THROUGH MY LIFE , GOLF BEING ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE FAMILY! MY DAD COACHED ME ALL MY YEARS UP TO MY FRESHMEN DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM COACH AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH WAS IN MY MIND COMPLETE BULLSHIT CAUSE MY DAD IS AN AMAZING COACH AND A LEADER! I WENT ON TO SMOKE EVERYONE GOING TO STATE AND QUIT SPORTS THE REMAINDER OF HIGH SCHOOL, I THEN PICKED UP RIDING DIRTBIKES WHICH I SEEMED TO REALLY ENJOY WOTH FRIENDS, BECAME GOOD AND WHEN I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL I WOULD THE. FORGET ABOUT DIRTBIKES, PICKING UP THE COWBOY TOUGH SPORT OF. BULLRIDING, STARTING OUT AT A REALLY LATE AGE AS MOST COWBOYS IM SURE LIKE ANY OTHER SPORT START OUT VERY YOUNG! I PROGRESSED AND PROGRESSED BECAME GOOD, MET ALOT OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE, WENT ON ALOT OF ROAD TRIPS HAD SOME AMAZINGLY EXPIERIENCES AND SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE AND I WISH I COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN BACKWARDS EVEN! Lol, BUT I HAD SOME INJURIES SOME SMALL AND A FEW MAJOR, I THEN DECIDED TO "HANG IT UP" :/, and just so HAPPEND TO GET A CALL FROM JOSH "THE LADIES MAN" CASTEEL FROM TRUTV's REALITY TV SHOW "BLACK GOLD" I HAD WORKED FOR JOSH PREVIOUSLY AND HE JUST SO HAPPEND TO MAKE A ("some say lucky, I say a blessing") phone call and picked me up! I LEFT ARLINGTON TX WHERE I WAS CURRENTLY RESIDING, WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, JUST SO EXCITED THINKING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO DO BEFORE THE SHOW WAS EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF( true story). THINKING THAT THIS COULD BE THE TIME I WAS SEARCHING FOR JUST CHASING MY DREAMS, WHILE IN MIDLAND TEXAS FILMING I WAS INTRODUCED TO (Dat boi g, dude, Yung killa<---free him!!) which now are my family. ANYHOW THEY MADE GREAT MUSIC (hip hop) AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC LISTENING TO THEM I MEAN I LOVED MUSIC BUT I NEVER HAD DEEP PERSPECTIVE OR THOUGHT INTO IT., WELL ONE TIME WE WERE JUST ALL HAVING A GOOD TIME LOL AND I REMEMBER JUST BLURTING OUT I WANNA BUST A FLOW ..... THEY KINDA LAUGHED AND JUST LOOKED AT ME SAYING WELLL LETS HEAR IT, so THAT'S WHERE IT STARTED, AND HEAR I GO JUST BLABBING AWAY NOTHING BUT NONSENSE LOL WE ALL LAUGHED ABOUT IT, FROM THEN IT BECAME AN EVERYDAY THING TILL I BURNED MYSELF OUT LOL, FEW MONTHS LATER THERE I WAS DOING IT AGAIN, AFTER BLACK GOLD WAS FINISHED FILMING ITS THIRD SUCCESSFUL SEASON. I DECIDED TO HEAD BACK HOME TO CARLSBAD NEW MEXICO TO GO VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WHILE BACK HOME I DID INTERVIEWS NEWS INTERVIEWS ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL THINGS, I SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN ("I'm famous, I'm a star. Party 24/7") MODE GUESS YOU COULD SAY "TASTE OF FAME" anyhow THAT ALL CAME TO A SCREECHING HAULT WHEN I ENDED UP GETTING AN AGGRAVATED DWI FIRST OFFENSE, AND JUST LET ME TAKE A SECOND TO TELL Y'ALL THAT IT IS NO JOKE GETTING ONE OF THOSE! PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE, I KNOW WE'VE " DONE IT A MILLION TIMES, SOME CLAIM TO. BE BETTER DRIVERS REGARDLESS AND BESIDES THAT CRAP WHO CARES CAUSE THAT "ONE" TIME IS ALL IT TAKES AND ALL IT TOOK FOR ME! IT HAS PUT ME ON A MAJOR SET BACK LOSING OUT ON NUMEROUS JOB OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS SEASON 7 of DEADLIEST CATCH, SEASON 4&5 of black gold, IT HAS BEEN A VERY TOUGH AND LONG ROAD OF CONSEQUENCE! JUST TRUST ME IT IS NOT WORTH IT! HAD A BAD BREAK UP WITH A GIRL WHO I LOVED DEARLY, LOST A BABY, LOST EVERYTHING CRAZY HOW THE DEVIL WILL DESTROY ANYTHING IN AN INSTANCE IF YOU LET HIM, I ALSO HIGHLY BELEIVE THAT IT WAS A TEST OF FAITH BY THE HEAVENLY FATHER CAUSE THINGS WERE MAGNIFICENT,SINCE JUNE I WENT A LITTLE SOUTH I GUESS ON A DEPRESSED STATE OF MIND, BUT ONE THING I DID AND HAVE DONE EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE THE. UNTIL THIS VERY PRESENT SECOND IS MUSIC. AND IT'S COMING TOGETHER, THAT BEING SAID. IM REALLY CONFIDENT IN MYSELF,AND MY MUSIC I'VE CAME A REALLY LONG WAY AND PROGRESSING FAST, IM DOING EVERYTHING ON MY OWN AS I LEARN IT SO STAY TUNED!
