CJ Spencer was born on November 14, 1986 in Woodruff Wisconsin to Charles Spencer and Cynthia Spencer. As a child, CJ had an intense and creative imagination. This creativity was key in his highschool career, being an active member of many student organizations, as well as a talented musician in the Northwoods Hardcore music scene. Bands he was a member of include Roasted on a Stick, Degree Below Freezing, The Fuzzy Thurstones, Identity:Zero, and most notably So Ends Romance (with Willie Uhrmann, PJ Root, and Jen Miller-Stratton). Spencer also worked with Skies Torn Asunder and Cold January Farewell on many occasions.

CJ Spencer created the Northwoods Hardcore music scene's Band Co-Op Burntheforest Records in 2004, which was not actually a traditional record label. The Co-op was a grand idea, but the deteriorating Minocqua music scene saw the death of the "Label" in 2005.

CJ Spencer is also a founding member of Skratch Tuning, a Minocqua Car club with an incorrect reputation for trouble. CJ Spencer was no stranger to fights with authority, and after a troubled end to his highschool career, Spencer left Wisconsin for Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend McNally Smith College of Music.

CJ Spencer worked at Glass Wall Music Group, as well as for Dead Letter Records.
