## Biography

### Early Life

David Poward is a twin born to a pair of parents who were uncover Jumper agents, Matthew and Arianne Poward (neé Bouchard). He and his twin brother, Erik, were raised in the Yukon frontier of northern Canada and lived often isolated from others in the area. When away on business, their parents entrusted them to an interdimensional television program that produces children's content aimed at interdimensional demographics living in worlds with knowledge of the Jumpers and other realms, while airing them in limited domestic markets as edited children's programs produced in a studio. Both David and Erik were cast onto a show called Gnarly Harley's Adventures at age 6 being the only humans on the production. The show featured song and dance numbers as David, Erik, and other interspecies children would join Gnarly Harley on adventures throughout several realms, including Earth.

When off set, David developed a deep interest in music and acting from his time on the show. He was offered a chance to continue being a Jumper and grow into his parents' position, David instead showed interest in performing arts and becoming an actor. David would go on record stating "I had no interest in doing the interdimensional stuff as a kid because that was normal for me and doing something outstanding back home appealed to me more". His brother, however, did want to pursue a career among the Jumper ranks and hoped to be an Earth ambassador like his parents.

Production on Gnarly Harley's Adventures came to a halt when the Canadian government launched an investigation into the show after several complaints from parents saying they found the show too realistic. To avoid detection from Earthly governments, unaware of the Jumpers at the time, the show ceased production and destroyed any evidence of any involvement with interdimensional entities. As a result, Matthew and Arianne Poward resigned from their positions as ambassadors and moved down south to British Columbia to start new lives.

Leaving his life as a child Jumper actor behind him, David began to write his music throughout his middle school and high school years, gaining local popularity and forming a band of his own called Raining Eagles alongside friends Adam Ferguson and Kolton Rodriguez. Originally specializing in pop rock, they found great success when they began posting their music to YouTube and grew a respectable following of fans. Following his high school graduation, David started attending school at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver working towards a degree in performing arts and acting. He had aspirations of making it on Broadway and performing on stage by ways of acting, singing, and dancing. However, around this time, his brother, Erik went missing while attending school to study law. While the authorities had no lead as to where he could've disappeared to, David remembered Erik's wish to continue to be a Jumper.
