Banks was born in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, on 3 May 1978. His family left England when Banks was three years old and moved to Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. They then moved to Spain when he was around 12, and it was here that he studied at the American School of Madrid in Pozuelo de Alarcón before the family moved back to the U.S. to settle in New Jersey. His father was later transferred to Mexico, where Banks finished high school at the American School Foundation in Mexico City.

Banks was involved in stage productions during his time at the American School Foundation, playing the lead role in the musical South Pacific. As a result of his time in Mexico, he is fluent in Mexican Spanish and speaks the language with an accurately Mexican accent. He later attended New York University, where he studied English and comparative literature, and he worked at magazines such as Gotham and Interview after graduating. He later took a data entry job at the Scholastic Corporation and worked in a café in order to devote more of his time to music and rehearsals. He was inspired to become a musician by Nirvana.
