His experiences cultivated his ability to tap into a character's motives and perspectives with uncanny precision.Gavin grew up with his brother and mother who had a love of theater. She encouraged him to get involved in church and school productions. In his later teen years, he branched out and began writing and recording his own music. He also produced music for friends.
