Spock recalls growing up in the North Bay area of California and spending summer vacations in Ecuador with his older brother. Since he wanted the name to be something unique and interesting, Spock sought out inspiration in any place he could. What finally caught his attention was the word “Wey” from a line from the Robert Rodriguez movie, El Mariachi. “Wey,” is used to refer to any person without using their name, which can be derogatory or endearing depending on context and that is what intrigued him.
