Early life Norelia was born on February 5, 1993, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. His father, Marc Elie, worked as a welder and his mother sold charcoal in the street markets. The family had a larger house than most people in their area, but Haiti had unreliable electricity, unpaved and poorly maintained streets, and unfinished houses. Norelia grew up speaking only Creole, and he did not know any English at the time. Once Marc-Eddy was born, his father began attempting to have their family move out of the country. Marc Elie's mother had already emigrated to the United States in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and she had encouraged them to do the same. The family moved back to Haiti for about one year, and returned to the United States in Apopka, Florida.
