Early life and education
Early life
Nels was born in San Dimas, California, the firstborn to his mother, who worked in advertisement, and his father, Nels Sr., who was in construction. His family moved around a lot in his early years, and he eventually ended up in San Bernardino. His love of music was prevalent from an early age, where he would play his father’s Beach Boys’ tapes (with whom he would later work) until they would play no more. At the age of 12, he started playing guitar and bass and began playing in bands. He mostly played in punk bands and had some success in this field. In his late teens, he started to tour and quickly grew to dislike it. He wanted to continue doing music, so he transitioned from musician to producer.
Education
Nels went to college at Fullerton and studied religious studies. During his studies, his mother convinced him to change majors, worried that he would hate academia. Nels was eventually convinced and first went to the Musicians Institute in Hollywood California. He received a Journeyman degree in audio engineering and a second Journeyman degree in music business. Nels, wanting more education, went on to get his bachelor’s degree in music production from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
