Early Childhood and Adolescence
Peter Ivanov was born on December 25, 1993 in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. Shortly after his birth, his mother Hristina Ivanova moved back to her home city Sofia, Bulgaria, where Peter spent the majority of his childhood.

Ivanov's early childhood was filled with the after-taste of the communist regime, but he was soon to see a light at the end of the tunnel. When he was 6, his mother became the manager of Janssen-Cilag for Bulgaria, which allowed her to send her son to a private elementary school.

Soon enough, his mother divorced Peter's father, remarried and gave birth to Peter's first brother - Pavel Stoykov

At the age of 16, his mother divorces for a second time and remarries for Roumen Kolev, who at that time resided in Canada and in 2010 leaves Bulgaria to ensure a brighter future for her sons in Canada.
