My fans are very special, and I feel very grateful for them. Think sometimes I like forget like truly how grateful I am; like as someone who like often felt like [...] didn't feel understood by many people like growing up. It's very weird to have like loads of people who are like "you know we understand-" and not understand but "we relate", and that that just very alien to me.

Bean also stated that their family was very musical, with their parents having been apart of bands and their brother Jake picking up the guitar very early.
During when Bean was younger, they began experimenting with makeup likely after getting a Monster High Doll makeup kit. After getting this inspiration from the franchise's makeup kit and dolls, it led to them later doing special effects makeup like bruises and cuts. During that time they started to delve into making homemade horror films which they would get anybody they knew into acting in them, one of these films being My Baby.
They have stated that they enrolled into the school because they didn't want to do music like the rest of their family, only making music for their films.[1] However, they realized that film was too difficult for them to express to artistic vision in, hence their choice to later delve into music.[2]

During that time they began sneaking into clubs and performing songs in them.[4]
Starting from 2017, they began posting on Instagram where they would most images of them with their surrealistic makeup looks and editing. From this they gained a small following which gave them courage to start releasing their music.[5]
