August Alsina became interested in music while studying at middle school. There were no musicians in Alsina’s family but he began singing, and at 14 he began uploading videos to YouTube. Both his father and stepfather were addicted to drugs, so this caused lots of problems and they had to move from place to place. After his father died in Hurricane Katrina 2005 and his brother was killed in 2010, August devoted his life to music.
From 2011 Alsina has become more visible in the music industry because that year the singer released his first mixtape “Untitled” (2011).
