About Me


Basic Info:
Name - Manny.
Age - 23.
Location - Reykjavík, Iceland.
I was born and raised in Chicago, but have been living in Reykjavík, Iceland for a few years now. I have a couple different jobs here. I handle the marketing for Grapewire.net, Smekkleysa, and Björk. By day, you might find me either bartending at 22 or selling clothes at Naked Ape. I also DJ quite often at different places around the city, especially at Q Bar.
I went to Columbia College Chicago for Audio Production and Music Composition. I'd also like to take some classes in film and photography in the future.
Travelling and trying new things is one of my passions. The more experiences a person can take in, the better. Staying in one place (Physically or mentally) for a long time kind of makes me crazy. Some trips I'm trying to plan for sometime in the future include Brazil, South Africa, India, Tibet, Japan, Sweden, Antarctica, and tons of other places. It's a bit ambitious to want to go to all these places, but they don't have to be soon. For the moment, I'm happy here in Reykjavík.
Music is my passion. You can see from the music section on this page that I like a lot of different artists. I like to record music, play instruments, sing, go to concerts... pretty much anything that has to do with it. On the side, I like to paint, take photos, work on small fashion design, write, read, and plan films I'd like to help make someday.
You can email me at [email protected] or MSN me at [email protected] if you'd like. I won't bite hard.
My hometown is quite charming at night:
This Makes Me Happy:
