South Auckland born Rapper - Linez, began his music career in the early 2000s. Surrounded by musical talents in his family, Linez was inspired to produce music himself. His brother-in-law - Charlie “MESSY MESS” Wiperi and Music Artist - Pody Cameron's brother, “CASHEZ”, formed an underground rap group named, “LOMONEY” - and via influence, Linez began creating beats on Charlie’s computer.
In 2007, Linez recorded his first track with his two older brothers, Glen “JXN” Jackson and Albert Jackson. This experience drove Linez to steer away from his usual freestyling and take song writing seriously. Over the next few years, his understanding and skills within the recording studio grew tremendously.
By 2014, Linez featured on the track and video clip - “Lets Gone” - alongside, “MESSY MESS” and “JXN”, which is available on Youtube.
“I wish to take this music thing further and achieve things I never thought of doing. And I encourage those to do the same no matter what it may be. Dreams only happen while your awake” - Linez
