Background

I grew up in the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles, CA in the 1980s, where my family owned an independent print shop in the Pico-Union neighborhood. I went to middle school at 32nd Street Visual & Performing Arts Magnet, where I first began cultivating my interest in the arts. I was accepted to and graduated from the prestigious Alexander Hamilton Academy of Music in 1999, where I studied electronic music, theater, and visual arts.
