Childhood & Early Life
Flula Borg was born on March 28, 1982, in Erlangen, Germany. He grew up highly influenced by the Western culture and idolized American movie stars such as Sylvester Stallone.
As a child, he was quite chaotic. He became interested in music in his early teenage years. He used to beat-box in his basement and slowly began making music of his own.
He was not academically good. He made up his mind about being a performance artist quite early in his life. He was then trained in the traditional southern Germany dance form called the Bavarian Schuhplattler.
While dancing, his attention was often caught by the music played by the DJs. During one such performance, he went up to the DJ and requested him to teach him the basics of DJing. Soon, he became interested in becoming a DJ. However, he also continued dancing and participated in the ‘Scion National Hypeman Contest.’
He ended up winning the contest, and it opened several ways for him. Ever since he was a kid, he had been traveling to Los Angeles on vacations. He somehow liked it every time he was there. Hence, when it finally came to making a career, he decided to move to Los Angeles to try his luck in Hollywood.
During his initial few months in Los Angeles, he struggled a lot. He appeared for many auditions and continued to make music without any considerable success. Eventually, he found a way and began putting his music up on ‘YouTube,’ which opened his door to success.
