Early life

Mastin attended Golden Grove High School.[9] He was inspired by his music teacher to pursue his musical interests, which included playing in several bands with friends and performing solo acoustic gigs.[10] Following his win on the third season of The X Factor Australia in 2011, Mastin withdrew from his high school and said that he would hire a mentor to help him finish Year 12.[4] However, he later dropped out of Year 12 to focus entirely on his music career.[13]
