History

Campbell was born in Galway, Ireland. [3] He began performing in clubs at 17, and producing music through early experimentation on SoundCloud.

In 2019, he co-founded G-Town Records with Shampain, named after their shared hometown of Galway. [6] In 2023, he performed a sold-out homecoming show during the Galway International Arts Festival, [3] and in 2024 made his debut at major festivals including Glastonbury, Coachella, and Boomtown.
