Early life

Joshua Badilla was born and raised in El Centro, California, and would often visit around Imperial Valley, especially Calexico since that is where he went to church, and he would often visit Mexicali. When Josh was 6 years old in 2016, his dad introduced him to “Jump Around” by House of Pain. That moment made Josh realize how much he loves Hip-hop. Josh watched a video at 14 years old in late 2024 about a sample breakdown of “93 'til Infinity” by Souls of Mischief and got inspired. He started making his own beats that day and later founded SC-Boom Records in early 2026.
