He got his start playing drums after seeing [[Ringo Starr]] from [[the Beatles]] on TV. After showing an early interest and focus, his parents bought him a practice pad, and he joined the orchestra in school.

He performed his first show at 14 after being snuck into the club by his older bandmates.<ref name="truth">{{Citation |title="TRUTH IN RHYTHM" - Keith LeBlanc (Sugar Hill, Tackhead), Part 1 of 3 | date=February 7, 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwW7UUrPSiA |language=en |access-date=2022-05-05}}</ref>
