About me
Born in Bronx, New York he has a degree in Media Arts and Animation from the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. This father of four has worked as a songwriter for a Spanish language educational show on Telemundo in Chicago called "Mi Escuelita" as well as a Lead Animation Academy Instructor for Disney.. I have done background vocals on an album by J.M. Dematteis, also known for his work on writing for Marvel and DC Comics for print and television as well as on a Rap single by the late, great Walter Payton and William "The Refrigerator" Perry and doing voiceover on several of his own animated creations. The idea for Casa de Cuckoo came from the necessity of some fellow artists to find work in their fields of expertise, no matter what it may be. Our current company projects are animated music videos by Chicago Rap Artists "Dude N Nem", signed to TVT Records and Rapper/Head of our Music Production Dept., "Huck Finn" signed to Out The Box Records as well as several graphic novels and animated Television series’ in development. With all of the buzz and opportunities that have come our way we plan to be around for a long time. Like someone once said,"Do everything you can plus a little bit more." Thanks mom.
