Born to a white Australian father and a Hong Kong Chinese mother, Wong recalls his childhood being rough and somewhat traumatic; his father left his family when he was four since he already had a family in Australia (causing him to adopt his mother's surname, Wong) and he was often bullied in school due to being of mixed heritage. Wong states that he remembers living under a staircase with his mother when being evicted from their home, and working three jobs at a time as a teenager.
