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.[10]
