Antwan Garner was born on March 23, 1987 in Newark, New Jersey.  At the age 10 Antwan said he had his first experience music when heard the hit song “First of the Month” by Bone Thugs n Harmony, and knew that he wanted to be in the music industry when he got older.  It was Antwan cousin, Desmond Wright who really pushes him into rapping; the two use to get together all the time putting rhymes together. After a while Antwan got pretty good at rapping.  By the age of 16 he started writing his music most of it was about poverty and how can he make it out the hood someday. As a teenager Antwan heard a lot of gangster rap, but he wanted to go in different direction with his music.

The young artiest eventually started calling himself Kasinova Tha Don from the original Casanova, The original Casanova is a man who is amorously and gallantly attentive to women. A promiscuous man, he was a great asset to the woman in his time. That is how Kasinova feels about the music game, he treats it like a woman, and he feels like it needs his touch. Later on he changed his name from Kasinova to Kasinova the Don.

Kasinova describe his music as inspirational while a message to the youth. Kasinova wants the youth to hear his music as a motivation that they can make it in life if you think positive and keep your head up. The young artist said “Now day the music I hear from some artiest are just pointless, no meaning and the passion and pain is no longer there.” In Kasinova’s music he talks about his life growing up and how it was a struggle, he also talks about what is going on in the world the good and the bad.  At the age of 17 Kasinova started performing in many different places and the outcome was amazing, a lot of people started comparing me to the great late Tupac Shakur. 

Whenever Kasinova performs everybody was so amazed by the delivery and the word play in his music. Some people that would hear him rap said it was almost scary how he sounds just like Tupac. Kasinova says he was the struggle and his family, and the feeling that they deserve more was one of the main influences behind his music. The other influence was the great late rappers Tupac, Biggie, and Big Pun. In 2009 Kasinova release his first album on YouTube called heart of a hustler, with the single “Get that Money.”  After the his first album was release people started referring to him as the urban myth in the digital world being compared to Tupac  he has a lot fans wondering if he is real or a myth. It wasn’t until 2011 when he got his big break, he linked up with Joe Gigunito who was introduced by FM3 of the group N.O.S. It was not until September of 2011 that Joe and Kasinova joined forces to form what is now known as JnK Entertainment.
