He attended Verbum Dei High School, Gardena High School, as well as others growing up. He was a popular teenager at these schools. During his high school years, he always wanted to be like Lil Wayne and Lil boozy. He ultimately dropped out of high school.

After being in prison for so long, he finally decided to get his face tattoos, including the "Living Legend".

Greedo claims that he has been doing music since he was a young kid.

When he decided to become a rapper, he went with the numerical digits, "03", as a way to commemorate his father who died in a motorcycle accident at the age of "30", there by reversing the digits.

Greedo has a philosophy that he has already made it as a major artist by the age of 30, which was his goal.

He believes that he has already met his goal to be an accomplished artist by 30 - therefore exceeding in his father's footsteps.
