I don’t remember it too well, but something like when I was six, I learned that anyone could post videos on youtube.com, and I had to take advantage of that.

Later when I was ten, my fifth-grade class was developing an identity, and I was put with the group making our class song. It was a cover of “Stereo Hearts” and I wrote mad bars.

I kept writing raps afterwards, and soon I combined my video making with my songs to make music videos. As I wanted to make them better, I practiced and learned more, and took on more ambitious projects.

My brother, Nick, always encouraged my creativity. I didn’t see him much growing up, as he was pursuing acting in LA while I was in Maine, but he was in my first YouTube video (on a different channel, happy hunting), and he gifted me my “rap book” for Christmas 2012.

Skipping over some XP grinding, I moved to Los Angeles after high school. This was August 2020, at the height of the pandemic, which was a wonderful time to be in LA. My brother and his cousin/my roommate wrote and directed their first feature called Fallen Drive (fallendrive.com). I executive-produced that project and learned a lot.

Childish Things came from Nick and I figuring we didn’t wanna take four years to see another feature project through to release. A shoe-string-budget improvised mockumentary was our solution. Then, we stuck to plan where it made sense, and acted on the fly when necessary.

Basically, I learned early on to experiment and see projects through.
