Encouraged by his mother, Cynthia Gill, he developed an early love for music through church activities, learning to play both the piano and flute while singing in church choirs.

He attended Whitgift School in South Croydon, where he balanced academics with a growing passion for music and rugby. After graduating, he enrolled at King’s College London to study Theology.
