## Early life

Aaron Bow grew up in Missouri, while spending summers at his grandmother's house in North Carolina. Intent on playing in a band, he began to teach himself guitar at the age of 12. A few years later, in high school, his attention shifted to making beats in FL Studio. Bow honed his craft by collaborating with local producers and artists, while simultaneously sending his work to artists online. His genre-less sound is inspired by eclectic influences including Phil Collins, Gucci Mane, Pharrell, and Lex Luger.
In 2012, he secured his first major placement with the track "Throwin Racks" by Yung Dred, featuring Gucci Mane. In 2014, Bow scored a short film about the world's first paraplegic motocross rider entitled 117: The Darius Glover Story, which premiered at the New Orleans Film Festival. In 2016, Bow scored a feature film exploring Philadelphia's underground dirt bike community entitled The Last Ride: A Philadelphia Story.
