Maisonneuve was born on October 22, 1999, in Nyack, New York to a French Canadian father and a Taiwanese mother. While raised in the suburbs of Ridgewood, New Jersey, he began producing music at the age of 15.[3] He was trained in classical piano at the age of 6, but quit due to him being "sick of playing other people's compositions." In the fall of 2016, Maisonneuve dropped out of high school, citing manic depression as the main cause for his leisure.[4] Afterwards, he started "isolating" himself to work on various demos and songs. The most popular track of his to debut from this period of self-isolation was "Cradles", which skyrocketed in popularity after being shared heavily on video-sharing application TikTok.[5]

Maisonneuve is known for his androgynous-chiming vocals in his music, and describes his sound as “mid-century pop blended with Latin classical guitar and electronic beats.”[15][16]
Maisonneuve’s sound ranges from latin, to trap metal, to punk rock, and EDM (see "BANDIT", "VIRGIL'S MANIA", "Skinny Loser", "Sick of you", accordingly). He usually incorporates heavy bass drops with music box bells, or other mallet sounds (see "Cradles", "Build a Bitch", "RABBIT HOLE", "DIAMOND").[17] Producer Elie Rizk usually works with Maisonneuve on the production of multiple songs, and his influence can be heard on tracks from the album "HIVE", or Bella Poarch's EP "Dolls". Maisonneuve also experiments a lot with his vocals, and has digitally altered his voice on his songs "VIRGIL'S MANIA", "CANDYMAN" and "HEDON".
