• I attended the High School of Industrial Arts and studied with many great artists as painting is something that you never stop learning about. Actually, in high school there was a time that I was thinking about just concentrating on painting and I asked my music teacher, Mr. Sondberg, for advice and he encouraged me to stick with the music as well. So all my life I have been singing and painting.

• I started studying herbalism and edible plants that existed in the wild. And then I realized, "Okay, cool.

So I started learning urban survival skills.
