Fort Worth, Texas bred him, but life shaped the soundtrack.
Aqerius isn’t just making music—he’s living it. Every lyric is laced with real experience, hard lessons, and the kind of self-reflection you only get from growing up in a place that teaches you how to move smart or get chewed up. His background is his music. The struggle, the dreams, the escapes—it’s all there, track by track.
From singing his own songs as a kid, to middle school choir under Ms. McNeil’s guidance, music has always been home. Even when her honesty about fame pushed him away for a while, the love never left. After college, he came back to it with intention—studying it, molding it, owning it. Inspired by artists like Drake, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne, his style is a fusion of melody and bars—R&B smooth with Hip-Hop truth.
He’s performed at Club Icebox, collaborated with names like Kay Savage and Kenny B, and worked with creatives like Dance Dailey, The Dojo Dallas, and Trunk Tight Records. Songs like “Along the Way” and his "Who Smoother Than Me?" Deluxe EP feel like journals cracked open—honest, vibey, and real.
What should fans take away? That they’re seen. That their feelings are valid. That it’s okay to be private, but still connect. Smooooothaq speaks for the ones figuring it out, evolving, and trying to make peace with both the past and the pressure.
Mottos he lives by?
“I’ll lie for you before I lie to you.”
“Health is wealth.”
“Hard work will always beat talent.”
“I live my life with no regrets.”
