Guarian was born in Baton Rouge, LA on February 2, 1973; tha stage name "Tragic" was an acronym that stood for "The Recording Artist Gifted In Christ." Guarian was a part of Baton Rouge, LA's Dirty Boyz rap group. Tha Dirty Boyz were formed durin' tha late '90s, in Baton Rouge, LA. Their original lineup consisted of members Kash, Tic, Black, Spade, Fatt Albert & Tragic, himself. Startin' their career under tha label IceHouse Records, tha Dirty Boyz released their debut album, 36 Ounces. Shortly after tha release, tha Dirty Boyz were later forced to leave IceHouse. Bouncin' right back, DB member, Kash, formed a new label, Dirty Boy Recordz (sometimes labeled as "DirtyBoy Entertainment" or "Dirty Boy Records," with an "S"). In 2006, tha Dirty Boyz released their 2nd album, Gutta Wayz 2 Get Paid. However, right before tha group's follow-up album dropped, tha group was down ta only three members, Fatt Albert, Tic & Kash. Needless ta say, tha group's 3rd album, Take Dat, Vol. 2, was released in 2008. As tha next decade went on, DB member, Fatt Albert, formed his own label, Beyond Reproach Entertainment. However, on tha tragic side of thangz, group member, Spade, had passed away & then, on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, Tragic tragically passed away.
