By the age of 12, Hector was a ward of the state where he spent time bouncing from foster home to foster home. He sums up this time in his life in the song “Got ‘Em Like” when he says; “Mother didn’t want me and Daddy was MIA”.

When the group disbanded in 2004 H. Troy began pursuing his career as a solo artist. Soon after striking out on his own, Hector Troy entered himself in the 2006 Connecticut IDOL competition in West Hartford, CT.
