Personal Life
Early Life
Guilender Pierre was born September 4, 1989 in Kings County, New York. He lived most of his early years in Crown Heights, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, with his mother, Aliete (nee Leandre) and father, Guito. His mom worked jobs off and on, but finally ended up staying home to take care of her family. She was formerly a seamstress that had migrated from Port-au-Prince, Haiti in the early 1980’s. Aliete met his father, Guito in New York, where he was employed as a jitney driver at the time.
Greek attended Morrison Middle School in North Philadelphia after relocating to the new location.
In school, he often got into trouble in class for drawing pictures and being unfocused.
His teacher suggested he go to a school for creative and performing arts (CAPA) to expand his creativity.
He ended up moving to Northeast Philadelphia and attending Lincoln High School.
It was there he met his best friend who gave him his first production program, FL Studio, in 2008. Greek then started producing and writing raps in his basement.
