Early Life
editAt 3 years old, his mother started taking him to piano lessons weekly. He expressed an interest in music production and DJing at 10 years old. The first production program he used was Soundation, a free online record production website. He found that he liked making his own music more than playing the piano.
Upon graduating from middle school, he picked up his first DJ controller, a DDJ-400. Since he had just graduated, he started to DJ at the school for his younger brother’s school dances. By his sophomore year of high school, his peers had influenced him enough to start making hip-hop/rap music, something he thought he would never do.
