Rapper/ songwriter Emanuel Norman Jr, aka Bandman Sonny, was born in Aliquippa, PA on May 29 1990. His parents divorced when he was 2 and he moved to North Carolina with his mother. He was raised in Reidsville, where he got off to a rough start.

On November 2, 2007, Norman was arrested and charged with armed robbery, among other charges, and as a result spent 5 years in NCDOC. While incarcerated Norman learned he had a gift for free styling and also wrote numerous songs and short stories. He was released from prison May 13, 2013.
