Growing up on the coast of Italy, he spent his childhood surfing and skating before moving to London to pursue music. He spent his late teens busking on the streets and eventually built a massive social media following by mixing his acoustic music with aesthetic skate videos.

Kurt Cobain, Tony Hawk, and the local street musicians he grew up watching in Rome.
