BBM: How’s life treating ya?
I can't complain, really. Besides some aches and pains, I'm good.
BBM: What was your first major experience with art and how did you know it was for you?
I
would consider my childhood. Drawing and painting for as long as I can
remember and hearing other children and teachers calling me and
referring to me as an artist. When I was a kid I always thought of
people like Salvador Dali as an artist. Y'know, like a really eccentric
looking individual with a cap and moustache. So, my reaction was like,
hmmn, interesting. People think I'm like that guy. Lol
The
responses and reactions to what I was doing stayed with me and the joy I
felt in the creative processes of art and music. It was a no brainer,
really. I was for it and it for me.
I loved art so much that I still do it with the same eagerness I had as a child, if not more so.
BBM: Give our readers a little history about yourself:
I am a native New Yorker born in Harlem, raised in Astoria, Queens.
I
come from a huge Italian family of 12 siblings. I started writing
graffiti at the age of 11 in 1977 and was part of the NYC Subway
graffiti movement till 1983 when I became serious about music.
Having
since made music with and travelled the world with legendary NYC
bands like Murphy's Law, Lords Of Brooklyn and various Heavy Metal
projects all the while doing "legal" graffiti art including a bunch of
successful group and solo art shows.
