Background

Early Years

Bora Kurt Karaca was born in Detroit, Michigan on November 26th 1983. He attended Detroit Country Day School, graduating in 2002, along with his childhood friend Jacob Daniel Hurley, graduating a year later. The two had known each other since middle school, bonding over shared interests and ideas in the world of music. Both agreed that the current bands at the time lacked novelty and would come to discuss what they wanted to see from current bands. As such, Bora attempted to start a band, but finding other bandmates in the high school was difficult. When Bora graduated from high school, he joined the University of Michigan, performing in Arts, Technology, Music Composition and Sound Recording. There, Bora would continue to attempt on forming his band, and began placing flyers on campus, but he wouldn't find any bandmates until 2004.

Los Angeles & The Laboratory

Four years later, in 2006, Bora graduated from the University of Michigan, and moved to Los Angeles while Cojum Dip was put on hold. There, he started slowly building his own musical studio, The Laboratory, a project he would only finish in 2009. However, Bora would still try to bring back the band from its hiatus, releasing a few demos and trying to find new portrayers for the band in Los Angeles, in vain.
