2. He was interested in music and arts from a very young age. He had studied painting at school and had also taken piano lessons.
3. Perfume Genius was an openly gay student at his school and he would often get bullied as a result. He was even sent death threats by some of his schoolmates but unfortunately, his complaints were always ignored by the school’s administration. He eventually dropped out of high school due to the stress.
