There is no early life section but does he really need one? Early career While working at Warner Bros. Records, Gionet was social media and marketing intern for Warped Tour. Kevin Lyman gave him the stage-name Baked Alaska, a reference to the fact that he came from Alaska and was a marijuana user at the time, referencing the dessert, baked Alaska. In 2011, Gionet worked for Capitol Records for a short time, before pursuing his own career in rap music with a "wild, redneck, kick-ass" persona. While in Los Angeles, he got involved in the party scene and had issues with drugs and alcohol, leading him to seek professional help to get sober.[8] Political activism In the following years he started working as a commentator for Buzzfeed. He then identified as a libertarian, supporting Rand Paul's White House bid and the legalisation of marijuana, and participating in Black Lives Matter street demonstrations.[8] He claims to have left Buzzfeed and turned to the politics of Donald Trump and the alt-right in rejection of "political correctness".[8] After leaving BuzzFeed in 2016, Gionet traveled as Milo Yiannopoulos' Dangerous Faggot Tour manager.
