Right from his childhood, being an artist was always his dream. He was inspired by album covers he saw when he was young and decided to align his career path to that field. Despite his early interest in art, his parents did not support his career goals. Nevertheless, he went ahead and attended art school but did not enjoy the learning process, therefore leading him to teach himself all he needed to know.
