Early Life and Career of Stitches

Stitches had a really tough childhood. When he was just 1 year old, his parents Esther and Alexander Katsabanis got legally separated. He is a school dropout and got addicted to cocaine from age 11. Since age 14, he was involved in the drug trade and carried guns as well. He has tons of records of being arrested as a minor.

Before he got the stitches tattoos on his face, they were inspired by the character of Joker (played by Heath Ledger), he used to be called as Lil Phil on stage. At the age of 15, he released his first music video filmed on a camera phone. He titled the video under his former nickname as My Name Lil Phil.

 

Later on, he dropped his mixtape No Snitching Is My Statement and music video Brick In Yo Face via WorldStarHipHop.com in 2013. He spent $40,000 on the video that got him 6 million views within a week of release.

Due to the constant watch of FEDs over him, Stitches decided to end his career as a dealer and started appearing more on clubs for $5,000 – $10,000 per night.

The life of Stitches is filled with controversies and rumors about his habit of inviting his female fans on stage and giving out free cocaine in the middle of the concert.

During one such event, wife Erica stepped on the stage and shut down the entire concert.
