Personal life Bourgeois is originally from Boonville, New York. A self-proclaimed "music geek," he played percussion in a variety of groups and ensembles throughout elementary and high school and participated in all-state music ensembles. He credits much of his current success to his parents' support for his early decision to pursue a career in the arts:
At age twenty, Bourgeois moved to Albany in pursuit of his musical interests, performing and recording in multiple area bands and studying percussion and electronic music at the University at Albany. He soon began to gain studio experience as well, starting with recording and composition for singer-songwriters and commercial advertising and progressing to projects that included casting and directing voice over recordings which cemented his role as a music composer and producer."White Lake Music & Post: A Labor of Love" Success Magazine Ltd.
