Biography

Born to a Filipino mother and an African-American father. He was raised alone by his single mother for the first 16 years of his life. His grandmother also played an important role in his life. Malone’s first passion was art and illustration, and from an early age it became his creative outlet.

At age 7, Malone began playing the piano by ear, and was influenced by his mother, who used to write songs and sing in a band. He used to write rap verses in third grade and was introduced to the use of modern technology in beat making when he stumbled upon an early version of FL Studio on a friend’s computer in 2000 and participated in online battles on Rocbattle.

At age 12, and in middle school, Malone entered the world of b-boying with friends in the Seattle-based b-boy crew, Art of Movement, and in 2005 appeared on an episode of MTV’s Made. Malone graduated from The Art Institute of Seattle in 2009, earning a BFA in Media Arts and Animation.
