Born in New York in 1990, Maslow was raised in La Jolla, California where he first began singing at age six as a member of the San Diego Children's Choir. In his teens, he attended both the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts and the Coronado School of the Arts. By the time he had graduated in 2007, he had already performed in several local opera productions, including stagings of La Boheme and Les Miserables. After high school, Maslow made his screen acting debut appearing in an episode of Nickelodeon's iCarly.
