Early life
Yuri Sardarov is half-Georgian and half-Armenian; he moved to the United States at age two as a refugee. His parents and grandparents were musicians. Sardarov was named after his grandfather, with whom he is very close, and they have matching Cyrillic tattoos. Because his grandfather was named "Yuri," Sardarov began to spell his name with an extra "y" at the end to differentiate himself. He has a brother, Nick, who is eleven years younger. Sardarov attended Glenbrook North High School, near Chicago, starting his junior year. He graduated in 2006. In 2010 he graduated with a BFA in Theatre Performance at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance where he was in a fraternity.
