Early life

Campbell grew up in Gastonia, North Carolina. During his time at elementary and middle school, he was bullied due to his height and obesity, so he began to sing and make music. He later moved to California, where he joined a small studio and learned how to make music. He was also a background singer at this time, but avoided being a solo singer due to concerns of further bullying due to his size. [1]
