==Early life==
Coodie was born in Chicago, Illinois, as Clarence Simmons Jr., son of Wendy Simmons and Clarence Simmons Sr., a CTA Transporter born in South Carolina. His Mother Wendy Simmons was also born and raised in Chicago. She encouraged Coodie to follow his talent for making people laugh by tagging along side his older sister Tonia Simmons on her radio show. He later on attended Julian High School where he discovered his passion for entertaining people through talent shows and filming. Coodie accredits his older sister Tonia as the one who broke him into media and entertainment. Coodie also has two younger sisters. He jokes around with many by referencing his family to the Huxtables from ''The Cosby Show''. Coodie says: "I was Theo while my older sister Tonia was Denise, but Denise was Vanessa and my baby sister Wendy was Rudy, we was in perfect correlation!" After high school Coodie went on to attend Northern Illinois University where he studied Communications. After one semester he was placed on academic probation, and after a year he was kicked out of the university due to academic and behavioral issues. He has been quoted saying: "being kicked out of college was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me."
Chike Ozah was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He attended Saint Martin Episcopal School. Where he realized that he was different to the other children in his neighborhood. He grew up in the inner city neighborhoods, but his mother knew that her son had a gift in art. At a young age Chike spent summers in New York, where he would visit art galleries and museum. His mother would work extra hours so that her son could experience new things and attend a private school. He also received a partial scholarship to attend Saint Martin. In the summer before his senior year he went to Rhode Island School of Art - a summer school that is considered by many to be the best art school in the nation. High school is when Chike visualized what he wanted to do with his life. He began experimenting with 3D art design. He then attended Savannah College of Art and Design where he experimented in majors of architecture, product design, film, 3D animation and motion graphics. In college he took a video art class. This is where he fell in love with video and decided that was where he wanted to focus his talent in. He spent his summers interning at Click 3x where his eyes were opened to a wide variety of motion graphics and video. Chike finished with a B.F.A in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Motion Graphics. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, he began a career in motion graphics. His work brought him to New York, where he created motion design and graphics for MTV. It was in MTV's hallowed halls that Chike first met Coodie.
