Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. PrestonATL began his journey as a recording artist at the age of 19. He graduated from the School of Audio Engineering Institute of Atlanta (SAE) in 2018. In 2019 PrestonATL worked as a substitute teacher in an Atlanta area Middle School and accepted a position to become full-time in the same year. In March 2020 the global pandemic forced all schools into a virtual learning environment. This schedule change allowed PrestonATL the full-time opportunity to develop his craft.

In Winter 2021 PrestonATL released singles "Grizzy", "Grammy Flow", and "Hoodrich."
