Born in Idaho, Sinclair started playing music at age 7, where he discovered a love for learning and playing songs by The Beatles.

After writing and producing his first RIAA Gold single with New Politics ("Harlem"), followed by his first RIAA Platinum single with 5 Seconds of Summer ("She Looks So Perfect"), Sinclair moved into his own studio in Echo Park.
