Upon returning to States Wood attended The Woodland Highschool alongside with Band members Kevin Abstract, Ameer Vann, Matt Champion, and Russell Boring "Joba."The band, however, did not form until later after graduation.
After graduation, Merlyn went on to pursue architecture in the University of Texas at Austin, due to his parents' pressure. It was not what Wood wanted to do in the first place so, he could not keep up with his studies and was failing his classes, which led to him dropping out of college after two years.
After dropping out Merlyn went to California where he reunited with his friends and join the band Alive Since Forever in 2015 which later was renamed Brockhampton. Brockhampton is a hip-hop boy band consisting of other 13 members.
