Music career

Bera is classically trained: at the age of 4, he could play the piano, drums, and the violin.[8] Life, love, friends, family, and his experiences inspire Bera's music. His music is heavily influenced by classical music, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Tupac, and Biggie. He wrote his first song in a dream and recorded it when he was 11 years old. Bera has worked with some of the industry's biggest producers, including Rodney Jerkins and Rob Fusari. "The working process is very unique with Rodney. Also, he’s a great personality; he’s very humble and down to earth even though he’s a legend. He’s a great person also. I just learned a lot with him. When you’re with a genius like Rodney, you try to remember every second and every single note from the song and everything," said Bera in an interview with Global Grind. He had also featured in a song "I Look Good On You" which was directed by Internet vine star Nash Grier[9]
