Calvin Matthews aka Charles Mission was born in Harlem, NY. Raised in Rosedale, Queens. He was the one that was always in trouble out of all of his friends. He started doing music when he was 16 years old in a residential treatment center for teens called Graham Windham. After doing a 5-year bid at the age of 18, he got himself focused with the help of his music. At the age of 23, Mission was on the wrong path that lead him to being shot six times throughout his body. From that point, he said he woke up as a different person, with a different state of mind. He feels that he has a purpose and expresses it with his music. After completing parole supervision on June 24, 2016, Mission eased his way back into the booth, recreating his sound.
