Born on January 22, 1990, in Rockville, Maryland to Robert Bryson Hall, Logic spent most of his childhood in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He had a tough time as a child, with both of his parents struggling with substance abuse. He regularly wound up in illegal activities until he finally decided that he wouldn’t want to end up like his parents, so he chose to take up rapping. He moved to Los Angeles in 2013. After releasing a few mixtapes, he saw modest success.

Later, he released the commercial mixtape series called “Bobby Tarantino.” His other albums received great commercial success as well.Logic states that Frank Sinatra has been his biggest musical influence.

He described the name as one that really stuck with him.

Soon after, he shortened ‘Psychological’ to ‘Logic.’Logic married his singer girlfriend Jessica Andrea on October 22, 2015, after dating for two years. He announced their separation in March 2018.
