He got his artist name by chance in High School when he was about 14. After defeating three students in a rhyming battle in the lunch room (while skipping class), a graffiti artist wanted to put his name on a wall of the school and asked him what to write.

When in his 20s, Fresh had his original name legally changed to his artist name.
