Panther always wished to step into the Rap industry. He had known how to write short songs and poems since he was a child. As a result, he had a goal to promote rap by getting a few lyricists to transform his stories into songs and starting rapping. For this, he met a few underground rappers, and then he had a realization that they could not do justice to his stories. Soon, Panther started studying how to play with beats and stuff in the next six months and began writing raps and songs on his own. As of now, he has Spotify- 80K Listeners every month & his Youtube Channel has 25K+ Subscribers.
