Early life

Davies was born and raised in Brighton, England. On growing up in Brighton, Davies told Acclaim magazine, "Brighton is tight. Between my collective of people, I can almost one-hundred percent say we know everybody in Brighton. If we don’t, we know somebody that knows the ones we don’t know." "I was rapping at the age of 13, I used to run a studio in a one-bedroom flat." said Davies in an interview for HYPEBEAST Sole Mates. "At that time the music wasn’t going anywhere, but as I grew up I made connections through Instagram, I’d bunk the train to London, I’d be working and sleeping in studios in London for three days on end, so I had to get the network out there."
