## Early life and education[edit]

NORD was born Carter Davis and grew up in West Linn, Oregon. He graduated in 2022 from West Linn High School and is now pursuing his musical career.

Since childhood, NORD has displayed a passion for technology and digital media creation. Throughout middle school and high school, he continued to refine talents that would eventually serve him well in his music career by creating YouTube videos of gaming commentary. As a child, he was intrigued by various musical melodies, and as a teenager, he expressed an interest in composing and publishing his music to describe himself as a newly discovered artist.

"NORD" is a variant of his initial Gamertag, "Nordium." He cites notable artists like Hoodie Allen, Logic, Xavier Weeks, and Bankrol Hayden as key creative influences for his own music career.

## Career[edit]

In July 2021, NORD began his musical career. He started by describing his past and present life experiences and emotions. He transformed his bedroom into a fully-equipped recording studio for music creation and production. He then diligently honed his vocal and composition skills. He would record his vocals over instrumentals discovered online by various internet producers. After playing with the placement of his songs on the track, he would begin adjusting the production components, which further developed his interest in mixing and distributing music.[7]

NORD has developed many unique melodies which continue to attract record numbers of listeners from both older and younger generations, and consistently shares updates on the current music related projects he’s involved in the creation of with his audience through social media.
