Guimond grew up in St. Marys Bay, Nova Scotia, learning piano and guitar.[5] As a teenager, he began to experiment with synthesizers and first released music under the name Jonah MeltWave. As a teenager, he also played with the indie-punk band Peter Pansbridge, which released the album Manter ketspidge in 2014,[6] and the short-lived band Intense sound dynamite, which released two singles in 2012.[7]
