I was born in London, England and spent my first five years living in England and Rome. After that my family moved to New York, then Los Angeles, where I spent most of my adolescent years, singing professionally as a boy soprano and studying art once my voice changed. Finally I moved back to NYC to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where I studied to be a film director and soaked in an eclectic selection of music.

I had one of my songs licensed for use in Jonathon Demme's Manchurian Candidate. Then I made my first music video, The Sad Song, which was pretty huge on the net. I received emails from Roger Ebert, Neil Gaiman, Massive Attack, ABC News Now, and several film directors, all offering opportunities.
