Jermaine Coleman, professionally known as Maino, was born in the early 1970s in Brooklyn, New York City. He grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, an area known for its vibrant culture as well as its socioeconomic challenges. Maino is of African American descent and holds American nationality.
His upbringing was marked by hardship, including the absence of stable parental guidance due to both parents struggling with drug addiction. This lack of support steered him toward criminal activity in his youth. In his early 20s, Maino became involved in drug trafficking and was eventually convicted of kidnapping a drug dealer, receiving a sentence of 10 to 15 years in prison.
While incarcerated, Maino turned to music as a form of personal expression and escape from the harsh realities of prison life. He began writing and performing raps, drawing inspiration from influential artists such as Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. This marked the beginning of his passion for rap music and laid the foundation for his future career in the industry.
