Backstory || Aiden and his sister grew up in a very religious Jamaican part of Miami. They were raised with heavy rooted traditional beliefs and strict parents. When Aiden attended Middle School he acted in a school play and it sparked his interest in performing. At first he wanted to pursue acting, but things changed when he had his first homosexual experience in 7th grade. Ever since he had shared that kiss with another boy, his mind became a confusing place for him and his only outlet for all of those thoughts was writing and rapping. After Aiden's younger sister came out to their parents, Aiden was even more terrified of what would happen to him if he came out as unsure of his sexuality. Their mother started treating Ash differently and their father's homophobic comments increased. There was extra pressure added to Aiden to be straight. At the age of 14, Aiden had applied to an art's school because he needed to desperately get away from his parents. He was accepted and chose to follow the creative writing path with a double focus in Acting. He was worried about leaving his sister behind with his parents, but he was confident that she too would be accepted into Metric Academy. The day finally came when his sister arrived at Metric and Aiden was less worried about the judgement of his parents on either of them. Living on his own away from his parents has given Aiden the freedom to experiment with his style, though he's still very hesitant about experimenting with his sexuality.
