Born and raised in Los Angeles, I was shaped by the hum of reels and records, where the 1970s counterculture wasn’t just backdrop, It was family. Among artists, rebels, and dreamers, I learned that beauty often rises from chaos. That wild, wondrous era left its mark on me scratched into a memory like vinyl. Now rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area, I still carry that golden haze of youth, chasing the same light we all try to hold in our hands.
