He was once a bad boy, having done many things to attract the attention of tabloids and the law.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, he evaluated his life and decided that lifestyle wasn’t for him anymore.  He quit his band and reinvented himself, but most people, much to his chagrin, know him as the man he used to be.

He now runs a recording studio where he works as a producer. 

His best friend is Elliot.
