- IMDb mini biography by: Karl Black

The hunger to express feelings and thoughts was bigger than me and still is. I'm constantly looking for different "creatures", such as ideas and collaborations, to bring them to light. They always stay well-hidden, I can't find them on every try, but once I do, the explosion is beautiful and it feels like I'm adding a few years to my life.

I was challenged by the new country, continent, and system, but that's normal when you start from scratch. I feel different here because I am, not because people are biased. It's my job to find a way to function within this new circle and bring my colors in.
