He grew up in the San Fernando Valley, participating in Armenian cultural events and often traveling to his historic homeland which greatly influenced the development of his sound.

Additionally, his childhood greatly impacted his development as a musician as he classical piano instruction for ten years in his youth. Starting in his early teens, Panossian became increasingly interested in hip hop and decided to pursue a career in DJing. At the age of 15, he saved up money from his job at a dry cleaners and bought his first set of musical equipment.
