Early life

Livingston was born in Dallas and grew up in Denton, Texas. He attended Coram Deo Academy. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 10. When he was 12, he started a small videography company, which sparked his interest in storytelling. 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.
