By 2008, Musto had also begun to write his own solo music. As Polaroid progressed, their music became increasingly influenced by emo. Musto dropped out of school in the 10th grade to focus on music. During Musto's freshman year of high school, the band signed to Leakmob Records.
They released one album, Paint The Town one EP, Inside And Out and one demo, The Cure Demo and have been variously described as being a pop punk, punk rock and garage band. In high school, Musto was the singer of Florida-based rock band Polaroid.

He has stated that many of his family members are from Pittston, Pennsylvania. Musto was born in Daytona Beach, Florida and moved to Palm Coast, Florida as a child.
