Damon was born on July 1, 1981 in Los Angeles, California to Kevin Fleming and Jamie Isiah. Damon attended Palm Middle School in Los Angeles, California while living with Aunt Brenda and cousins. Damon also attended Moreno Valley High School in Moreno Valley, California, where he met and later married his high school girlfriend and the mother of their 3 children. After high school Damon enrolled in San Jacinto College where he majored in music. Damon loved all kinds of music; his wife said he listened to music in his sleep. At the age of 20 Damon welcomed his first child, Savanna and moved to San Bernardino, California, where he resided for over 10 years. There he started a career as a warehouse worker. Shortly after the birth of his first daughter, Savanna, he welcomed his second daughter, Alanna. Damon took time to pursue his music. He incorporated his love for his children and music together and made that something that they would enjoy together as a family. Years later Damon welcomed his third child, his only son Ja'mier, who he always would refer to as Big Dog. Damon's children will remember their father as a free spirited and a protective Dad; someone who encouraged them to pursue their goals and made sure they understood that people make mistakes and it is okay not to be perfect.

In 2010, Damon asked his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his children for her hand in marriage. March 18, 2011, the two became husband and wife in Riverside, California, amongst friends and family. Later they moved back to Moreno Valley, California where Damon worked at a plant nursery so his wife could focus on school. His wife describes him as not a perfect husband but someone who made sure she knew that he truly loved her for better or worse and a man who absolutely loved his children and someone who was not afraid to take risks. "He lived 2 lives in 1 lifetime".
