I was born on January the 28th 1974 in the city of Nanaimo, in British Columbia, Canada and raised by my parents John and Karin Nielsen until the age of 4 (1978) in Campbell River BC.
In that year my parents had become separated and my only brother Dean Nielsen (1971-1999) and I lived for awhile switching back and forth between them. My brother and I were very close up until the age of 7 we then lived with my father's girlfriend and her son to Royston BC for a short time.
The majority of our lives was spent living in the Comox Valley and my earliest memories of my interest in drawing started in grade 2 in a small town called Cumberland.
In elementary school, grade two became my eye opener. Friends and teachers would rave at what I was working on and had very much inspired me to pay attention to my artistic creations. Later on in life I investigated my health and realized that in the past, the reason why I wasn't very active was possibly the result of too much greasy food slowing me down and keeping me in slow motion mode.
From this experience I learned that it is necessary to be very calm but driven when drawing
or painting to be patient and remain focused. I also learned that there are
many foods, music and supplements to help one to acquire this state.
My Teens
I began experimenting with electric guitar and electric bass guitar at age 13.
My mother had purchased a really nice bass guitar for me. Around the
same time, I desired more complexity in a stringed instrument and my father
bought me a simple electric guitar.
Not knowing the technical reasons why guitars are built the way they are,
I would take them apart and mount the base pickups on my electric guitar.
Still to this day I have not taken any music lessons nor have I desired them.
I have always wanted to master a unique guitar sound & style naturally.
When I was fifteen I made a discovery, while listening to some slow but
intricate music and staying up really late drawing. I entered trance like
states as if being half awake, half asleep of which I later developed into a
profound way to speed up ones ability to learn and evolve their ability to
draw.
I came to discover the Ascension Series while looking at a pair of flame or
tear drop -shaped eyes plus a 3rd flame shape in the forehead . I was
looking through an encyclopedia to invoke strength and wisdom in myself.
I won't describe any further what exactly, the image was, that is not
important. What was important was the fact that It gave me an intense and
almost scary feeling as if divinity was looking upon my soul.
On one hand I felt at peace and protected, on the other it felt like I was
initiated in some sort of beyond human sacred event or experience.
At this point I was re-born into a different state of mind and body driven to do
artistical work with this mysterious fire awaked within. One day I gazed into
the flame/tear drop-eyes and I happened to have my guitar on my lap and my
tape player had already been set to record. The peaceful yet grand feeling
sent me into a dream/trance-like state and recorded the first piece of music
which I was accelerated into a deep degree of artistic complexity. Utilizing
the music on a consistant basis, cravings for specific foods, and a
clearer perception for life and focused thinking emerged.
