Her early years were spent in Sagamu, Nigeria, until a stroke of luck changed the course of her life. In 1999, Atracta's mother won the US visa lottery, granting the entire family an opportunity to relocate to Houston, Texas. This cultural shift inspired Atracta to turn to music as a means of transition and escape.

Her humble beginnings saw her crafting mixtapes on cassettes, recording her favorite tunes from the radio. As technology evolved, so did Atracta's methods. She transitioned to burning CDs when her family acquired their first computer, quickly becoming the go-to person for music compilations among her peers. Adapting to the digital era, she embraced mp3s and became a maestro at curating playlists for iPods and other digital players.

Atracta's love for music blossomed during her university years, where she delved into diverse genres and sounds. This period of exploration fueled her passion for the boundless possibilities within the realm of music. Not content with merely enjoying the art, she started throwing events, where her playlists became the heartbeat of the party. Soon, requests flooded in from friends and acquaintances, solidifying her reputation as a musical tastemaker.
