A bohemian dresser, he is also good friends with producer Rick Rubin, John Frusciante, and Johnny Ramone, among others. His father however, kicked him out at the young age of 16, he began living in New York City, and from there traveling around most of Europe, only to find himself back in the wild scene of New York, co-founding under the name, Prince Vince.

He recently released "Recordings of Music for a Film", which is some of his older music work remastered. A lover of the finer things in life, he adores women, but can't seem to find the one he's looking for, and he will ever be known as the man of many talents.
