Early life Michael Medrano was born in Torrance, CA, United States. He grew up in a conservative house with Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs, and has shared that in his household holidays and birthdays were not celebrated. Medrano's father is from Spain and is of Catalan ancestry and his mother is from Los Angeles and has Irish and Scottish ancestry. He has expressed that parting ways from his conservative upbringing is what made him compelled to create provocative art.

Career Medrano released his debut single titled, "Be There" in 2016. He has described his early releases as "boring songs that I didn't like, because I thought it was what I was 'supposed to do'. It was unfulfilling and completely untrue to me as an artist." He describes the song as the music that he really wanted to make. After years of releasing material as an independent artist, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Medrano was signed to a major record label, but was dropped shortly after earning his first Top 40 radio single. On April 7, 2023, Medrano released his first project, LoveSexDrugs, which includes the singles "Personal Heaven", "Naked", "Fluids", "Disco Sleaze" and the collaboration "Do Your Thing, Babe" with Funk Leblanc.

Personal life Medrano is bisexual. Speaking to Billboard Magazine, Medrano said, "Sexuality isn't black and white, it's a colorful spectrum with a lot of in-betweens that we should be okay with exploring."
