Magic Flute was born at the May Pen Hospital on the 24th of November 1992 as Joshia Beckford. He attended three schools throughout his lifetime, Old Road Basic School, Green Park Primary & Junior High and Denbigh High School. 
Music is part of his DNA as his father, Lascelles Beckford, was lead singer and guitarist for the "Crucial Vibes Band". His mother was a backup singer and his brother, Sagitarr, is a well known singjay as well. He got the name "Magic Flute" from Sagitarr when they were younger because he always wanted a flute to play and couldn't get one.

Since Magic Flute was in 1st grade, he had a great passion and love for music so he did music classes for two weeks but could not continue because of finances. A few years after, his father came to an understanding that his son, Magic Flute, had "The Voice of a Trumpet" during a rehearsal they had in Palmers Cross. The people from the community and his father's band members always said what powerful vocals he had, even from age 6. This led to his first performance in Palmer's Cross at age 6, when he was called Zungu, where many members of the community were present and were in awe of his voice.

Magic Flute's lost his father in 2005 and in 2012 Magic Flute was introduced to Ryan Singh of Moby's Records by one of his friends. They have been working together since then creating positive and inspirational music. Magic Flute is hoping to leave his mark with his powerful yet melodic vocals and emotional style of delivery.
