Early life

Snak was born in 1982 in Maple Ridge, British Columbia and grew up in a suburb of Vancouver.[4][5] In high school, he was in a small band. He dropped out of high school, began painting and for a while was living as a homeless graffiti artist. In 1998, he was charged with 150 counts of mischief, but due to lack of evidence, the charges were dropped.[1][2] He began going by the name "Snak" in 2001.[6]

Between 2003 and 2006, Snak moved around between Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto developing his graffiti skills and building notoriety in the Canadian hip hop scene.[6] He was homeless and struggled with substance abuse, using his love for writing songs as an escape.[7]

Career

Snak began writing music in 2006.[5] In 2007, Snak released his debut album The Ripper.[2] He integrated "the Ripper" into his stage name that year.[6] His album Sex Machine was released on Camobear Records in 2010.[8] In 2011, he released Fear of a Snak Planet which featured several Spanish collaborations.[9] His 2012 album White Dynamite was also released on Camobear Records.[10] In 2012, Snak the Ripper collaborated with dubstep producer Datsik.[11]

In 2014, Snak released the album Just Giver, and subsequently went on tour in Canada.[12]

Snak was nominated for "Hip Hop Recording of the Year" at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2015 and 2016.[13] His 2016 release From the Dirt debuted at number one on iTunes Hip Hop & Rap Charts.[14][15] From the Dirt peaked at number 40 on the Canadian Albums Chart. In 2018, his album Off the Rails peaked at 47 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[16] He promoted the album with a European tour.[17]

In 2020, he collaborated with Dax and Classified.[18] In 2021, he released two live albums; Live in Los Angeles 2018 and Pissing Off The Neighbours (Live).[19] In 2022, he released the album Let It Rip.[20]

Snak is the founder and owner of the record label Stealth Bomb Records.[21] It was established in 2013 after he was dissatisfied with his previous label.[2] The label was on hiatus from 2017 through 2020.[22]
