A little bit about what Upkvst stands for:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout his early teens Alex had a hard time feeling accepted throughout his community, he always felt like an Outkast, like he didn’t belong, and that no one understood the way he felt, Unfortunately that led him down a very dark path but he has come to the conclusion that Everything happens for a reason and he had to go through all of that to be where he is today. Alex is very confident about the future and knows that if he keeps everything positive, he will never go down that dark path again. Hence the UP in Upkvst.
