I was introduced to a very musical environment, with my dad being Alice and everything. At a young age, I was exposed to so much music. Every day was a different musical genre.

He added:

When I was growing up, my dad was listening to The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Four Seasons, and just all the stuff that I feel like a lot of the rock ‘n’ roll foundation was based upon. But I would actually say for this band, when I was in middle school, and I first heard The Battle of Los Angeles by Rage Against The Machine, that was the one that did it for me. I was like “Wow, this is crazy!

According to his LinkedIn profile, before CO-OP, he fronted the band Runaway Phoenix, which performed at Arizona State University's 2009 commencement ceremony as the backing band for his father.
