“Hello, i’m Victor (FEWOCiOUS) and This Is My Life” represented the life of the 19-year-old transgender from ages 14 to 18 when he was taken out of an abusive home to live with his grandparents in Las Vegas.

Speaking about his experience with his grandparents in an interview with Esquire in June 2021, he said, “I thought I would be safe, but they were just as mean.” He added that he was afraid to come out as transgender to his religious family members.
