Daniel lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His family moved to Fort Worth, Texas and later settled down in Houston, Texas where the singer calls home.[3] Daniel admits that music became important to him in his life as a child and started playing drums in second grade. In high school, he began making music in Mixcraft 5 and recording vocals in his bedroom closet with the advice of YouTube tutorials. He decided to pursue music professionally in 2017.[4][7]
