Early life


Livingston was born in Dallas and grew up in Denton, Texas. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 10. When he was 12, he started a small videography company. Soon after, he discovered writing songs and purchased a MIDI keyboard and started producing his own music in his bedroom. He found it to be a very effective way to communicate his emotions, as he was often bullied in school. He drew inspiration for his music from artists such as Macklemore and Jon Bellion.
