Afterwards, Mulherin spent his freshman year of high school at Xaverian Brothers High School, before transferring to Foxborough High School his sophomore year, where he studied computer-based design. He first came into contact with making music at the age of 12, when his cousin let him borrow their acoustic guitar with which he covered various emo songs.

History

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
