Kokher was born and raised in SW Missouri into a very close and loving family, made up of his father, a grocery store owner and his mother, an elementary school teacher, along with his older sister and grandmother.

His mother claims that he was always a very good baby and young child and later on, did her best to get him involved in school, music and dance to no avail. By the age of 13, not only was he very physically matured for his age, he had lost all interest in these other things and was allowed to start having “girlfiends”, which is where his mother always felt they had let him down.
