History

Something interesting about me:
I’m from South America and I was born in Ecuador. I speak fluent Spanish and I used to be a hip-hop dancer. I only dance when I go clubbing now! (laughs) I’m not in the clubbing scene as much as I used to be, and I usually buzz in only to Amoy Street and Club Street.

What do your tattoos mean?
The Inca warrior is actually an ancestor of mine. It’s a Red Indian tribe from the South where I came from! I have a tattoo that I designed with both my father’s and mother’s initials. Another one of my tattoos is a map of Ecuador—the place where I was born.

I’ve been here for 12 years.
I love it here. In July I’ll be travelling around the world though. It’ll mostly be Europe, South America, and then to Morocco and Greece.

Favourite place to visit?
The best city I’ve ever been to is Tokyo. There’s just something about the place that makes the vibe so incredible. The people are very cool and the food is amazing.

Best decision I’ve ever made:
Moving here straight out of university. My parents were living here before but they left when I came here. I grew up a lot here; I had many opportunities. This is definitely the best decision I’ve ever made but also the scariest thing I’ve ever done.
