Nathaniel Grant was born in Beijing, China to American parents Harold and Oliva Grant, both migrating to the country for his father's occupation as a television executive while his mother got a job as a nurse. He would spend the majority of his childhood in the country, attending school there until he would move to the United States with his parents at the age of 17. He practised Jeet Kune Do in his youth while growing up in China. He would become fascinated with professional wrestling during his teenage years, watching it on the television as no Chinese promotions existed at the time. When he moved to the United States, he immediately looked into training where he would be accepted into the Catch Sports Pro-Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles.
