I refuse to state what I consider myself.
I just consider myself an Los Angeles Native. But, if I had to answer your question, I"d say that I am Los Angeles-born with a Mexican heart, a Japanese spirit, and a global mind."
”lieutenant interacts all the time. My faith is embedded in medical
So I believe I project it either through my art and/or hopefully through my actions.”
The truth is…I don’t even really identify or consider myself an “artist”, at least not the artist the general people have so flagrantly given a loose, misconceived meaning to
That’s what a bunch of wannabe artists who finally have a show/exhibit or what actors who finally get a movie gig like to think of themselves as. I define myself more as a…“hustler.”.
