Prevail was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, but moved to Victoria (Langford), British Colombia when he was just 2 months old. He got involved in music through his cousin and started rapping at an early age. He and Moka used to rap on the street corners for change, on buses, the ferry....anywhere. In '92 Prev and Moke put out an album together under the name Splitsphere. The album was entitled "Delve Into My Realm". After high school Prevail moved to Vancouver, along with Moka. In '94, Prevail and Moka moved down to San Diego on a whim.While down there, they were lucky enough to meet up with some of undergrounds' most elite artists who later became friends and collaborators. (Tony Da Skitzo, Mr. Brady etc.) In '95 Prevail moved back to Vancouver where he spent time in the restaurant industry while honing his craft. Besides being part of Swollen Members, Prevail is a member of the NBA (National Battle Association). He is known for his incredible freestyling ability. An art which he practices daily to keep in shape. He is also part of the incredible super group Codename: Scorpion, which consists of himself, Moka Only and Abstract Rude. Late last year Prevail was given the opportunity to travel to Zambia, Africa with a MuchMusic camera crew to speak with the youth there about the HIV virus and AIDS. Prevail usually handles the press/media aspect of Swollen Members as Mad Child is busy taking care of the business side. So Prevail can be seen, heard, and read all over the country. He has made several solo radio and television appearances (MuchMusic, Off The Record, etc). This spring he made his feature film debut in the movie "Agent Cody Banks", starring Angie Harmon and Frankie Muniz. He is also quite involved in extreme sports. Prior to being known as Prevail, (a name which was given to him by Moka Only) he went by the monikers DJ Fortune (in the group Fortune & Fame), Black Jack, Emperor Of Hip Hop and K-Prevail. He was also a member of the infamous Q.C. (alongside Moke, Birdapres, Sichuan, E.Motionz, Sons of Intellect etc.) Show less «
