Ejay Falcon, half-French, was born on November 21, 1989 at the island of Pola in Oriental Mindoro. When he was 12 years old, his mother left them in Palawan. Curious about her, Ejay went to Manila in search for her. Upon his search, he found out that she now has a different family. Despite his dream of reuniting his family shattered, he stayed in Manila to look for a better opportunity of helping out his family.
He was raised in a very rural place so it was hard for him at first to adjust to the city's modern lifestyle. Because of his good-looks, Ejay joined various modeling competitions, one of which is The Circle of Ten Modeling Search. Ejay also grabbed the opportunity to improve his educational attainment in the city. He took up Hotel and Restaurant Management in the University of Manila but was forced to dropout due to financial reasons.
In 2008 he was casted as one of the fourteen contestants in Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus where he was the first one to enter the house wearing only a loin cloth. In June 7 of the same year, he was declared as the Big Winner tallying in a total of 620,934 votes or 36.31% of the total votes of the Big Night. He won a total of one million peso cash prize plus a P1.5 million business package from Crystal Clear Water Purifying Company, a laptop, a kitchen showcase, a 46-inch LCD television set and a condo unit.
