Much is unknown about Josh's early life, due to the fact that Josh does not comment about his childhood much, and when he does it is unrelieable, and Josh's relatives are either deceased or no longer in contact with him (except Grandpa Block).

Summary

Joshua Paul Block was born on the 7th of August 2001 to Andrea Tobin and Allen Block. Joshua is of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, but he claims to be Italian through his mother, however her maiden name Tobin is an Irish or Ashkenazi Jewish surname. He has one older brother Jacob Block, who is rumoured to be schizophenic and living in a group home, although this is unconfirmed.

Childhood

Josh was raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He frequently claims that his father is a drug addict who abused him and then abandoned his family, and is currently in rehab. Josh was born with autism which resulted in near constant stimming, which can be seen in a video recorded by young Josh while on an Amtrak Train, where he is heard repeating words. Josh became interested in photography and videography when he was eight years old after his grandfather gave him a Nikon camera.

Death of Mother

At the age of 14, Josh's mother died due to ovarian cancer, resulting in Josh moving to Patchogue, New York, where he was taken in by his grandfather, who became his legal guardian. Block attended Patchogue-Medford High School and graduated with a Regents diploma in 2021.
