His name was suggested by a Hindu mystic that his parents admired, he is from Texas, when he was older he moved to France and a store owner discovered him and offered him to play in rock shows. In a show in LA Duffy found him and she showed him to Michael Gira a record label owner, and that’s how he appeared.I love that he is a very mysterious person, he is like a spiritual old guy, but anyway, he makes very different and great music, you just need to keep listening to understand his style.
Recently after making his video of “carmensita” he ended in a romance with Natalie Portman.
