Bourgeois is originally from Boonville, New York. A self-proclaimed "music geek," he played percussion in a variety of groups and ensembles throughout elementary and high school. He credits much of his current success to his parents' support for his early decision to pursue a career in the arts:
My parents always made my sister and I feel that we could accomplish anything as long as we understood the work involved to reach our goals. There's no question that this support has played a big part in my life today.
— Bourgeois, Success Magazine, Ltd.

He soon began to gain studio experience as well, starting with recording and composition for singer-songwriters and commercial advertising and progressing to projects that cemented his role as a music producer.
