Although his family moved to North Oakland, G-Eazy continued with his studies in Berkeley. He was first introduced to the music industry by his mother when she showed him “A Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles when he was still young. He had already made a decision to pursue a career in music, and even did odd jobs when he was only 14 to earn cash that would help him follow his passion.

When he was 12 years old, his mother started a romantic relationship with a woman called Melissa Mills.
