He grew up with friends in a band named Dr. Doctor, in which he was a guitarist and singer.
He was seriously injured in a traffic collision on July 28, 2016 and suffered multiple skull fractures, cracked vertebrae, a broken orbital, and heart palpitations.
In 2019, he was diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease necrotizing fasciitis, causing an improperly treated minor skin rash to leave much of his facial skin disfigured.
