Early life and education
Gossett was born in Austin. His mother worked as a teacher and his father coached basketball. He began taking music lessons in middle school after he discovered Ed Sheeran's music, but eventually stopped them and learned from his brother and from watching YouTube.
Gossett said artists including Sheeran, Turnpike Troubadours, Flatland Cavalry, Cody Johnson, Shane Smith and The Saints, and Mumford & Sons inspire him. Gossett initially only intended to write and perform music for family gatherings during Thanksgiving and Christmas, when he and his family would share ideas and create songs.
Gossett studied at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and graduated in 2021, when he interned with F1 in event operations and logistics at the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin.
