COOL KIDS BDAY BASH VIDEO
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I came to the states with my parents seeking an american dream, but through my community involvement, socialist upbringing, experience with the juvenile/prison & american educational system i've come to realize that whatever affect i leave on the world, i want it to be a positive one.
I'm a Photographer, Teacher, Musician, Graphic/Clothing Designer & an Activist. I'm very involved in my community and i'm always down to help someone out with whatever knowledge i can give. I also love learning new things.. Kind of addicted to it. I've worked at many different community organizations, and most recently ran a program in San Francisco called The DJ Project for 5 years. I'm now working with H.O.M.E.Y's (Homies Organizing The Mission to Empower Youth - www.HomeySF.org) teaching everything from music, graphic design, silk screening, cultural empowerment, art & more..
I got into photography when i was really young and started off with a disposable camera. After awhile with the help of people who supported me i saved up and got my first DSLR Professional Camera. From there i just taught myself as much as i could. I try to capture honesty and the true beauty in people/things. I love creating a brief second in time where nothing else matters but the sound of the shutter.
Music has also been another big part of my life & im currently working on my 2nd album. I've been rapping since i was a kid, and was brought up in a household filled with music. My stepdad has been in an afro-cuban salsa band called, Ritmo Y Armonia, for the past 15 years. So as long as i can remember i was surrounded with music of all genres. Waking up at 4am on a couch in the back of some club is how i spent most of my childhood, i always admired musicians and the sounds they made, but it was the mic and a voice that caught my attention. Im not in it to become famous, or make a ridiculous amount of money... it's just my way of releasing whatever i feel at the moment.
Any questions feel free to hit me up, im very easy to get along with and i love to have fun. However, I don't like simple-minded people and one-dimensional thoughts. Please be original..
