Coming out of Richmond, Ca, D'Barbie was raised by her Mother and Grandmother. Her Father was absent in her early life due to him being incarcerated. D'Barbie got involved with the street life at an early age, but like most children growing up that area it all came about organically. She would go out and play with kids in her neighborhood on the daily basis, but as she got older this graduated into fighting with others from opposing parts of Richmond. Her aggressive behavior would be one of the shortcomings that would haunt her in the near future but also be flipped and used to bring her blessings.

D'Barbie's mother was a rapper, and Barbie looked up to her mother and they are very close, so naturally D'Barbie began to become interested in music and started to write raps. When her mother first heard her rap, she was shocked at her daughter's innate gift with words and knew there was talent residing in the young girl. D'Barbie was blessed with a gift, and everyone knew it, but her aggressive nature in the streets would lead her down a dark road of losses and incarceration. She had been jailed many of times for different offenses, but mostly for her irascibility. This would set her back some years, but while in the system she began to make a shift, becoming more serious about music, and was ready to take out her anger and aggression on the microphone.
