Frampton was born on 18 December 1994 in Northampton to a teenage mother. Of mixed Bajan and Irish descent, Frampton was raised by his single mother along with his four siblings after his father left when he was three. Frampton grew up in Lings, a predominantly white council estate in Billing, Northamptonshire known colloquially as "The Bush". His younger brother, Michael, had muscular dystrophy (MD) and died in 2001, aged one, which greatly affected Frampton. Frampton attended Northampton Academy and in 2011 went on to attend Northampton College, where he studied a Level 3 BTEC in Music Technology. Frampton frequently skipped school during his years at Northampton Academy, often spending time at a nearby underground “recording studio” at his friend’s house, only stopping when his mother was forced to attend a compulsory court hearing. After college, Frampton had multiple miscellaneous short stints in employment - he worked as a labourer and at a clothes shop before being sacked for breach of contract after he gave his friends employee benefits. After his dismissal, Frampton focused entirely on music, downloading a copy of FL Studio and releasing numerous singles and an extended play under Bone Soda. Frampton resides in Kensington, West London and his home town of Northampton.
