Ranaldo Mirtil was born on October 27th, 1995 to Florina Fenelon and Sameul Mirtil. His love for art and expression shone through his creative drawings and paintings at school and his academic performance was due to his quickened understanding. Curiosity brought him many of the answers he was searching for. It was somewhere between 2009 and 2011 that he truly found his poetic voice. He failed in comparison when it came to free-style rapping but in a matter of seconds, with a page and a pen, he could taint hearts. He dawned the name 'ENO' in 2012 because he wanted a unique name. The Acronym stands for Endless Noise Omission as most of his early tracks were recorded using a laptop microphone and would feature full background sounds; He'd spend much of his time masking or "Omitting" these sounds. He gains inspiration from artists such as Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Schoolboy Q, Drake and Joey Bada$$. He's personally said that he would much rather be called a Poet than a Rapper. The name change from ENO to Nostalgic came about in early 2015. ( https://soundcloud.com/nostalgic242 )
