On the 13th of August, Bruce Black was born on Long Island, New York. At the age of six, Black first took interest in music after listening to the radio, hearing the layers of vocals, and musical instruments blending together making a beautiful sound through a black box. After he moved to South Carolina, Black sought to expand his knowledge of music by joining the band in middle school. He became a part of Winds section, playing the clarinet and in high school, he became familiar with playing the drums, and later the piano. In his years at South Carolina State University, Bruce became a member of the marching band.

By this time, Bruce knew he wanted to move people through music, watching the excitement and life it brought to the crowds, incorporating all he had attained, into producing skills.
