When Shoplift’s father, a former member of the “Four Tops”, suddenly passed in Shoplift’s arms years ago, becoming one of the many devastating experiences impacted Shoplift, but the ultimate loss in life, left him in a dark place. Being an inspiration to his music, his father had always encouraged him to not quit. One of the reasons his loss of focus on music and engaging in unsafe surroundings was a lifestyle cut short, was the constant mental reminder to himself of his father’s encouragement. “I knew there was more to life and didn’t want to disappoint my mom or those who have sacrificed to put me into better positions. I realized something needed to change just didn’t know how to go about making the change happen.”
