William 'Versatile' Polanco was born in New York City, New York. A passion for music is illustrated in his childhood pictures where musical instruments were a reoccurring theme. A childhood filled with love and appreciation for music transcended into a passionate quest for individual artistic freedom. Various medians of expression were utilized including dancing, drawing, painting, playing instruments and writing. Versatile began writing lyrics as soon a he was able to start putting words together as a child. It was not until later on in his life that he took his musical gifts seriously. While in college pursuing a degree in business, Versatile began to focus on his musical endeavors. He began investing in equipment to create beats that supported his lyrical content.


In 2002, Versatile graduated from the University of Connecticut. Shortly thereafter, he formed a rap duo with his younger brother and his first mix tape was released.

This album highlights Versatile's unique musical style, in particular, his highly reflective inspirational lyrics.
