Jinno was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and moved to Israel in his early childhood. In his teens he experimented with electronic music when he connected several synthesizers together.
The two met when Jiga broke away from the punk/metal genre and was interested in electronic music[http://www.isratrance.com/interviews/analog-pussy-i49.html Isratrance Interview]
