Born in Krakatoa, survived his family after a big volcanic explosion by floating on a large slab of mozzarella cheese created by his parents, the world famous swiss cheese makers, Quinetis. Moved to Brazil, where traumatized by cheese making, started collecting Brazilian Music in the early 80s. Moved back to Krakatoa, where he lives alone, drinking mojitos, posting music on his blog, and watching the magma move to the groove of bossa.
