Sincere Davinci, born Erik Jones, was raised in Harlem, NY by his grandparents. At the young age of six, he started writing poetry, which distracted him from the hurt and anguish of a broken home. By his Freshman year of High School at Darrow, a boarding school for troubled and at risk teens, he had enrolled in AA and was diagnosed with depression. He continued to explore his love of writing which helped him escape his everyday struggles. Sincere soon gained the admiration not just of the school staff but also of his peers for his wordplay. Despite all his talent and opportunities presented to him, he couldn’t shake his inner demons. He was suspended multiple times and then finally dismissed from Darrow. Sincere would moved back to Harlem, graduate from Urban Peace Academy after one year and move to Maryland. Even in a new environment, he immediately attracted a similar crowd of hustlers to surround himself with.

At the age of 20, he was introduced to T.E.T.ris and Vee One, the founders of the musical coalition Camp 6 Entertainment. They immediately recognized his drive, dedication and talent. Once they began to mold him into a professional artist, his voice, delivery and lyricism couldn’t be denied an he gained the reputation as a “Lyrical assassin with a short fuse and sharp aim.” Upon his return home, a chance meeting and friendship with the Chicago duo “The Paxtons” formulate. After becoming part of the South Shore Social Club (SSSC) collective, the song “5 Dollars” would solidify the camps talent while simultaneously becoming an underground classic. With multiple successful releases, a handful of SXSW stages, even a Billboard in Time Square, Sincere has made his imprint felt by those with their fingers to the pulse of the underground. He recently started Rose Petal Publishing LLC with his wife Grace while signing with WVZ MFG Publishing as both a writer and artist. He is also a creator and Artist Relations for SoundWVZ, the videogame department of WVZ.
