My parents moved to Florida when I was 12, and my backyard was the Gulf of Mexico.

I grew up in New York City, and I moved to Florida in high school.

My parents moved back to New York from Florida when I was in the ninth grade.

Soon after I was born, my parents moved to the South Florida area, and I've lived here ever since (with a few years of living in both Portugal and Brazil in my younger days).

I go to Florida sometimes for vacation. I actually really like Florida. It's a weird place, it's surreal. It's so close, but you feel like you're in another world or on an island.

I moved from Kentucky to Miramar, Florida, at about 8. I think I was in second grade. I still had my Southern accent, and down there, you got to experience a melting pot in full fury. All the kids I hung out with were, like, Sicilian kids from Jersey and New York.

Florida is a crazy place, and I have played some of the wildest shows of my life here.

I did all of California from north to south. I did Florida from north to south. I went to the Midwest. I spent time discovering the culture because I thought I was going to stay in America for only two years. Then I decided to come to New York.

I grew up in Florida and went to school there, and ended up going to University of Central Florida.
