Early life Kirkpatrick identifies as an "Irish Moroccan Jew" due to his mother's Casablanca roots and his father's Irish origins.

Kirkpatrick grew up in Encino, Los Angeles. He was first introduced to music at the age of 5 years, when he received a drum set for his birthday. Throughout his teenage years, Kirkpatrick played in some small bands in junior high and high school. At the start of his career, Kirkpatrick started a recording studio in the garage of Petel's parents where he recorded for local bands before moving to bands on labels such as Hollywood Records, Fearless Records and Drive-Thru Records. He is able to play keys and guitar, but expresses more familiarity in drums. Selena Gomez
