He is known by many aliases such as Uncle Chuck Musto, JFKTV, Trayb God, Donnie Rhombus, Biz, and more. Vills is from the North Side of Pittsburgh and began to make music at an early age. His father introduced him to beatmaking at age nine, and Vills started to make his own beats on a Boss DR-202 Dr. Groove beat machine in 1999. He used a Triton keyboard in his teenage years, but started to focus on FL Studio as it was easier to import new sounds. Vills credits his production sound to the constant music playing in his subconscious. His influences include Ghostface Killah, RZA, J Dilla, 9th Wonder, DJ Premier, Timbaland, Cassidy, The Neptunes, Alchemist, and many more.
Vills wrote his first 8-bar verse in the fourth grade with childhood friend YM Da Kid, and after a few more verses here and there, he decided to put the majority of his focus on beatmaking and write verses every now and then. As a child in the Pittsburgh Gifted Program, he learned advanced writing and poetry techniques that often received praise from his teachers.
In middle school, Vills joined the Steel Drum band from his summer camp and went on to perform at many venues, including Harrisburg to play at an event to celebrate Harry Belafonte's accomplishments. At the same time, he was in his school's steel drum band as well. After his three years in Frick International Studies Academy, Vills stopped playing the steel drums and put his efforts into learning more about production and beatmaking.
From 2001-2005, he attended Schenley High School where he would start to share the beats he has made with people for feedback. Word quickly spread that Vills was talented, and other students who wanted to pursue rap careers asked him for beats. Occasionally at the lunch table, Vills would supply the beats for people rapping by pounding on the table, and a few times freestyle a few lines to make people laugh. As a senior, he started to write and rap more, while still making beats everyday, and after he graduated, he dropped his first solo mixtape titled "JFK 4 Prez: The Mixtape", recorded entirely from the dining room of his parents' house.
As a freshman at California University of Pennsylvania, he made friends with Pittsburgh rapper Ghosty (formerly GhostWriter and Jev The Ghost), and they exchanged beats and rhymes for the majority of the first semester, which led to both of them not going to class and eventually on academic probation. During this time, the word and lifestyle "trayb" was created with the help of two of their closest friends. In the second semester, they did the same thing with little to no regard, as they were confident in their musical abilities after dropping out of college.
Trayb started out as a word that described something crazy, but it evolved to describe just about anything when used in proper context with people who understand your thought process. It started to catch on while Vills was still a student at Cal U, but it increased in popularity in the years after his departure and while he was back in the city.
In 2007, Vills and Ghosty rented an apartment in Oakland to focus on music and money, working in Heinz Factory making soup and baby food. After almost one year, they coined themselves The Scholars, and dropped their debut mixtape "Smarten Up!!" in May 2008 hosted by Houston's DJ Space City. The project instantly made them buzzworthy in the local music scene, and they linked up with Mac Miller and Beedie (as The Ill Spoken), Franchise, Vinny Radio (formerly Vintage Radio), Palermo Stone (formerly Tip tha Ill-Spit), Bill Niels (as Wild Bill), and Willy Whips to form the East End Empire. They have performed many shows at The Shadow Lounge and other places, but The Scholars got a chance to open for Raekwon and Cappadonna at BB Kings in New York City months after the release. With Smarten Up!! under their belts, they continued to make music, with Vills putting more time into making beats.
The Scholars dropped their second mixtape "Extra Credit" as a prequel to their street album "Keep Your Grades Up" in the summer of 2009. It was during the making of this project where he went from JFKTV to Primavera Vills. He was featured on a limited amount of songs due his working on beats and the birth of his daughter, which slowed things down at the wrong time. After still doing shows, including opening for Rick Ross, Vills decided to put major focus on beats for the time being and give up rapping, leaving Ghosty to venture out to solo territory with Vills making beats for him and rare guest verses.
In 2010, Vills planned to release his first beat tape for download, but his computer crashed and he lost everything he worked on. As a present to the fans at the time, he released the only version of the beat tape he had from CD that didn't have the final version. Within the same year, Vills got back to writing, and started to work on his solo debut. During the process, he joined the Pittsburgh rap group The 58s with Ghosty, Franchise, Vinny Radio, B. White and Mayo, with P. Fish and Big Jerm as go-to producers. They released their self-titled debut in April 2011, and gained huge attention from its success and popularity, leading them to doing a lot of shows in the East Coast and opening for Mac Miller in a few cities. In July 2011 on his 24th birthday, Vills released his solo debut "Shorthand Legend". On his daughter's second birthday, he released his official beat tape debut "Happy Birthday, Brooklyn" with all projects receiving acclaim for delivery and quality.
In 2012, he released his critically acclaimed beat tape "For Mother Russia!!" in May and "Cuff McGruff" in October. Vills didn't release any projects with him rapping in 2012, but he feautured on a lot of tracks from artists local and national, including B. White, Cali Cam, Mikey Yux, On Key and more. It was announced in the end of the year that Vills signed with Mac Miller and his REMember Music label, and would release his second mixtape under the imprint.
Vills named his sophomore project "Anti-Flu Anniversary" because of dreams he's had in the past, and released it April 2013. The songs "Zenith", "Chun Li" and "Sloe Moe" received attention of radio stations across the nation and in London. In June 2013, he released the instrumental album "Juicy Naturals". Mac Miller's Space Migration Tour made its stop in Pittsburgh and allowed Vills to open up, with outstanding feedback. In August, he released "Quatro", somewhat of a sequel to his "Happy Birthday, Brooklyn" beat tape. In October, he released his third project "Basic Math EP" and said it was a prequel to his debut album "Solid Gold Arithmetic" with no set release date as of now.
