Morris was born as Henry Floyd Morris in Northeast Philadelphia to West German immigrants. He grew up learning both German and English and continued speaking both languages for life. He attended Frankford High School and stated in a later interview that, "[he] was an 'all As' student and very popular." He graduated in 1998 and went on to attend Pennsylvania State University, where he graduated in 2002. Morris served in the U.S. Army during the Iraq War and was deployed in April 2003. His performance was described as 'satisfactory' but was medically discharged after his platoon was attacked in the Babil Governorate of Iraq on July 6, 2003. Morris was shot in the left foot, and lost his fifth and fourth toe. Eleven other soldiers were wounded in the attack, while two were killed. A close friend of Morris, Staff Sergeant Jonathan Moon, died in the attack and later became the namesake of the band Morris would become the frontman of. Morris received the Purple Heart award for his service and returned home on July 31, 2003.
