Fortunately for him, he found music and he focused on making his own music, by taking inspiration from Michael Jackson and Eminem. After almost a year, when he was 16 years, he joined YouTube.

Behind The Curtains
Jeydon was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. His birth was a difficult one as the umbilical cord was wrapped around his face and neck, causing a faint deformity in his left lower face muscle, because of which his smile sometimes appears crooked. It is because of this that he was bullied and teased in his elementary school. He was a very smart infant; he could speak full sentences at only six months. When he was only 9 months old, his parents divorced, and his mother remarried. She conceived two more kids, his half siblings, a brother and sister and they all grew up happily together. All three of them played outdoor games and built tents together. It was when his mother got very sick that he went through the worst phase of his life. Jeydon thought he had lost her, but she leaped back into health. When high school began, he got teased because of being a transgender. However, music and YouTube helped him overcome bullying. Today, he is a successful YouTuber and is currently dating Samantha, who has appeared on his videos. He hopes to spread joy through his channel.
Trivia
