As one of the few Swedish rap artists one can truly call a veteran,
Split Personality also known as Dollar$ign Pee or $.P) born in Uganda, has stayed loyal to his origins in Angered, Gothenburg Sweden where he grew up from the age of seven.
From the age of 6 years old when his dad took him to see Break Dance the movie, little $.P knew from there on where his heart belonged, in Hip- Hop.
From his early days of rapping in front of the mirror in his bedroom while RUN DMC and
LL Cool J boomed from his radio, performing and Break- Dancing in the local youth centre’s and painting graffiti, he soon realised that what he truly loved was to rap and perform on stage in front of audiences.
-I just really loved writing and rapping, just the feeling of hearing my voice over beats after recording a song is what got me inspired to write lyrics and put together my own songs.
I never really sent out demos or anything like that, but I was approached by different producers that wanted to work with me after hearing me and seeing me perform, says Dollar$ighn Pee.
In 1996 he released his first single: “Questions” under Virgin Records Sweden.
It was produced by: Random records at Jam Lab Studios.
“Question”s was a huge radio hit and put the name Split Personality on the Swedish Hip- Hop Scene.
In 1998 $.P Released his second single “The way you move”.
In 1999 $.P joined The BLaO Entertainment, witch was a coalition put together by the producers Kiboy, Quadjo and Noah, and with the artists: Jaquee, Glaciuz the ICY, Sublime PH and Bouchra.

-Things where going a bit crazy in my life and I just felt that I needed to get away from it all for a while and maybe get my thoughts together.
