Da Grimm One aka Theo Royle was born at Walsgrave Hospital on July 28th of the year 1988 to bi-racial mother Donna Royle and black father Keith Bryan. Theo has one older brother Nathaniel aka DJ Slimm, one younger brother Lewis aka Imperfectionist Royle and two younger sisters Kyesha and Kushiah. 
Growing up round Pridmore a part of the city where money was short for all although his mother always tried her best to make sure that him and his elder brother Nathaniel was always dressed well. As a youth as his dad was not around all too much his mum sister Karen and Nan Sylvia and Nan boyfriend Frank would always help out his mother in raising him.
Grimm and his family then moved out of Pridmore and went uptown to a neighborhood called Holbrooks at the age of 8 when his sister Kyesha was born. Although he still used to go Pridmore to visit his Nan often and his best friend Midge and would spend the whole summer down there as he was very close to his Nan until the she died on 12th September 1999 which then took a massive change in his life.
Music had always been a strong part of Theo’s life growing up from listening to Dancehall Artists such as Shabba Ranks, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer & Mad Cobra to Hip Hop Artists like Biggie Smalls, Puff Daddy, Mase, 2pac, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and The Fugees. 
After being influenced by some many different artists at the age 10 he decided he wanted to learn how to play an instrument and joined the steel band. After learning the steel band he then felt he wanted to learn about different instruments to which then lead him to taking recorder lessons before giving it up to join the school choir in which he practiced twice a week and got the opportunity to perform at the city cathedral. Not all too long after that things took a turn for the worst and he became involved in a gang within the school which lead to him being dropped from the school choir and also due to events of so many gangs being formed at the time forced the school to call the police in to have a strong word with all the gangs in the school hall.
When he attended high school in 1999 once again he found himself involved in gang activity, although this time around it was different as it was due to turf war. Due to the all the turf rivalry he was involved in meant that he was not allowed to participate in after school activities such as the football team as he was due to get suspended from school many times but to avoid that happening he would give false telephone numbers. 
During his lunch hour he would spend it smoking weed, playing football and robbing footballs which the teachers had confiscated. At the age of 15 is the first time in which he found himself in cuffs due to getting caught with his friend Adam with possession of Offensive weapons, He had a Crowbar and Adam a Knife.
At the age of 19 is when he started getting really street bound by selling drugs and involving alot in violence too in which got him his name Grimm. 
At the age of 21 is when he turnt alot of his time, effort and energy to music before going off to study music at college the year after. That same year he then started to attend spiritualist church in order to find some meaning in his life.
