Here are a couple clues:

• He lived in Soho in the 80s, but then moved to the woods when he was a kid.
• Moved back to NYU for art/film school the day he turned 18 (art instead of music because super useful *eyeroll*)
• Worked at Criterion Collection doing film and audio restoration on Gimme Shelter, Beastie Boys Anthology, The Rock!
• He’s the loving father of two weirdos in Brooklyn
• A Musical Mullet- Party in Front. Business in the back. He loves to make things happen and have fun along the way.
