Khadimou Rassoul Cheikh Fall, professionally known as Sheck Wes, is a multifaceted American artist, born on September 10, 1998. He has gained widespread recognition for his 2017 single "Mo Bamba", which initially gained traction in 2018 and has since become a cultural phenomenon.
In February 2018, Wes inked a joint record deal with Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Records and Kanye West's esteemed GOOD Music, with Interscope Records serving as the umbrella label. Fall's early life was marked by a strong sense of faith, as he was raised in a devout Muslim household.
At the tender age of five, Fall and his mother, Ella Kingsland, relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he spent nine formative years. Subsequently, at 14, he returned to New York, where he would go on to spend a significant portion of his life.
Music played a pivotal role in Fall's life, serving as an emotional outlet to cope with the stress and turmoil of his troubled childhood, which was marked by a hostile environment. As he navigated high school, Fall discovered a passion for basketball, which became a significant extracurricular pursuit.
However, his life took an unexpected turn when he caught the attention of a fashion talent scout, leading him to forego a crucial playoff game to participate in the unveiling of Yeezy Season 3 at Madison Square Garden. This experience marked a significant turning point in Fall's life, as it opened doors to new opportunities and further solidified his multifaceted persona.
