Fun Facts:
1. If Caleb could get better at any one thing, it'd have to be multitasking.
"I think about this answer every day. I'm really one-track minded—I do one thing really thoroughly, but if you need two things done by a certain time, you better pick which one's most important, because only one thing is getting done, haha."
-Caleb Hearn
2. He's obsessed with basketball.
"I wish more people knew about it, played it and watched it. It's an amazing sport—I'd love to coach basketball sometime down the line."

6. He's so full of energy that he considers himself both an early bird and a night owl.
"I just want to keep going. It's the reason I can't have caffeine! Recently though, I've been sleeping in a little later—so maybe night owl right now."
-Caleb Hearn
7. The No. 1 thing on his bucket list is to spend a whole year abroad traveling outside of the U.S.
"I just want to see the world—of course playing some shows and writing music, but also experiencing things I couldn't otherwise back home. There's so much to experience in the world. I'd also wanna get a nice tan."
-Caleb Hearn
8. His biggest character quirk is paying very close attention to the people he shares media with.
"It sounds a little weird, but anytime I share something with someone, like a video or a song or something I like, I won't stop watching their face and waiting for their reaction until they've finished the whole thing. I get super fixated and will literally stare them down—if they look away, I'm immediately like, "Wait, did you finish? Keep watching! Did you like it?" Sometimes it weirds people out, haha. My whole family knows I do it."
