Duenas was born in Washington on June 9, 1992, to a Guamanian father and mixed-race mother of black, white, and Native American descent. His parents met in the United States military after the Gulf War, and their military status resulted in Duenas frequently moving as a child, having lived in Germany, California, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, and Washington. Duenas began making music at sixteen years old, while living in Washington. While a junior high student in Victorville, California, Duenas was discouraged from rapping after losing a rap battle to classmate and future actor LaKeith Stanfield. He attended University of Maryland, College Park, along with future bandmate Abhirath Raju, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English language and literature in 2014.
