Harold Rosenbaum was born in 1950 in Danville, Pennsylvania. In 1951, his family moved to the Bronx, and then to Flushing, Queens. He began studying piano and singing in choirs at an early age. In addition to his musical talents, he had a childhood love of drawing that briefly saw him consider a career in architecture. He was especially inspired by The Lion Hunt by Peter Paul Rubens, a famous Baroque painting he meticulously copied by hand. He attended Flushing High School, graduating in 1967. In the summer before his senior year, he decided to pursue music when he was one of sixteen young singers selected for an intensive summer choral program. Until university, his musical tendencies were towards pop and folk music inspired by famous folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary and iconic film singer Mario Lanza.
