Spencer Knight, known as Spencer X to his fans, was born in New York and first started exploring music from a young age. In middle school, he first picked up percussion, trumpet, and bass and began playing them. Spencer was introduced to beatboxing by a friend around the same time, who started beatboxing while they played tennis. Spencer was amazed by the art of beatboxing and began researching and learning as much as he could about the art. He then decided to start beatboxing himself.
In school, Spencer started getting involved with Hip-hop clubs and performing. His professional career began shortly after school, where he joined the acapella group “Midnight Ramblers.” The acapella group auditioned for NBC’s “The Sing-Off.” Later, he joined the acapella group “Backtrack.”

It gained so much attention, that he was recognized in a segment on USA Today the following month. Over subsequent years, Polanco slowly built a profile through his beatboxing skills and YouTube channel, which led to him being ranked seventh in The Source's list of Top 1o Hip Hop artists in 2018.
