Hollywood Thad was born a twin on November 15, 1989 at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. His parents Henry and Carol Young had stern beliefs. Being of Jamaican descent and growing up in church laid a foundation for him to be one of the most versatile artist in the game. His mother Carol Jackson (Young) was a famous singer in the 1970s her song titled “I’m gonna say goodbye” charted #1 in Jamaica. She came to America to pursue her dreams as an artist but life took its course and she became a wife and mother of 7.
