The Journey of TVM Killa: From Games to Music
Born Aaron Brown in Wilmington, NC, TVM Killa’s journey into music began in an unlikely place—his passion for video games.

For TVM Killa, music became a natural extension of that escape, an outlet to express the complexities of life.
TVM Killa music is deeply personal, reflecting the emotional ups and downs that anyone can relate to.
