Early life
Early career
Kalimireddy began taking music production seriously when he was in college, where he would start to engineer and produce tracks off of his mom's laptop. This, and a succession of his roommates with eclectic electronic music tastes opened him up to a world of new possibilities. They allowed him to draw on inspiration from pioneering artists like Flume and Odesza.[8][9]
