Early life

Wiggins was born in Oakland, California, to D'Wayne Wiggins and Michelle Lochlin-Wiggins. He attended Oakland School for the Arts, quickly immersing himself in the local music scene via "jam sessions" with classmates.

Music career

2010-2012: PopLyfe

By 2010, The unofficial "jam sessions" with classmates and other local instrumentalists had evolved into a formal music group: pop band PopLyfe was created, containing Oakland Arts classmates and future stars Kehlani Parrish, Zendaya, and the Wiggins brothers, bay area native Gabi Wilson, and several other members, performing songs produced by their father D'Wayne. PopLyfe appeared on Season 6 of America's Got Talent, achieving a finals placement and performing with Stevie Wonder. The group finished fourth. In 2012, Parrish would leave the group due to contractual disputes, and the group disbanded soon after.

2013-2017: SMSHNG HRTS and initial musical success

Wiggins formed five-piece r&b/soul band SMSHNG HRTS with his brother Jaden and childhood friend Martin Rodrigues. The group played SXSW Festival, but were later forced to disband due to naming copyright issues with band Smashing Pumpkins.

2018-Present: Hello Yello and further musical success

In 2018, Wiggins formed pop-punk-hip-hop outfit Hello Yello, reuniting with Jaden and Rodrigues. They released their debut EP Love Wins in March 2018 to acclaim, before participating in a nationwide tour, opening for Clairo & Beabadoobee. One of their compositions was later used to create song "Dont Want It" on Lil Nas X's 2021 debut album Montero. In 2022, Wiggins would co-write and co-produce a majority of Rosalía's eclectic, universally acclaimed project Motomami.
