Ezra started playing the drums young, starting with percussion in band, and quickly finding a passion for it and begging and pleading for their parents to buy them a full drumkit. Eventually he succeeded, though not without the stipulation of having to mow the lawn of the entire block. Ezra accepted that without hesitation, so long as he got their drumset.

When Ezra was 16, his younger brother died unexpectedly, leaving the family shaken and broken up beyond repair. Their home in Canada was abandoned in favor of moving to Los Angeles, where their father was born. Upon arriving, Ezra very quickly joined the friend group of Tamara Sinclair and Samuel Clyde, finding a space welcoming and safe for someone who was struggling with so much. When the idea of a band started bouncing around, Ezra agreed without thought, eager to put his drumming to good use and make music that people wanted to listen to. Other=
