===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.<ref name="2005bio">[https://web.archive.org/web/20050405145946/http://www.cojumdip.com/ cojumdip.com in 2005.]</ref> When Bora graduated from high school, he joined the University of Michigan, performing in Arts, Technology, Music Composition and Sound Recording.
