“Its aggressive and a very impatient part of LA. I was just a kid so I remember hearing a bunch of helicopters and eloteros ringing their bells around my street. But once I came back after Florida everyone I knew was much older in comparison to the kids my age in Florida. Growing up in LA as a whole if you aren’t pampered or rich makes you grow up pretty fast. DTLA has a huge sense of community which is great its so compact and understanding when it comes to new cultures. I love it I love it but it’s too loud sometimes and it makes me restless. I live in studio city now so it’s very quiet and different I don’t miss the noise.

Growing up, I used to play at the Venice and Vermont McDonald’s all the time. My mom was studying at usc when I was a kid so I frequently hung around the campus. I’d spend hours at The Walt Disney concert hall, LA historic park, and Chinatown as well.”
