He became an outlier inside his family when he chose not to pursue basketball as a career. Talking about his life, he recently opened up about his relationship with his father in an interview with IEDM.

He said, “Since I do not play basketball like my brothers and sisters, there were times in my life when it was hard for my dad and I to have something to bond over, until he started DJing. I would go on tour with him and music brought us way closer together, as a father-son relationship. Are music fuses us, which makes me appreciate what I do that much more?”
