He spent most of his childhood in Katy, Texas, growing up with his three older brothers. From an early age, Black showed a deep interest in music. By the age of 13, he had learned to play the harmonica, and a year later, his parents recognized his strong vocal abilities. By the time he turned 15, he had become proficient at playing the guitar. He began writing his own songs as a teenager and eventually dropped out of high school to perform with his brothers’ band.</p>
