About Manolo
Por convicción, estudié Ciencias de la Comunicación y me especialicé en Periodismo en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Me apasiona ser cazador y contador de historias porque creo en esas increíbles, en esas en las que el personaje y la atmósfera que lo han construido hablan del ser humano con sus perversiones y virtudes.

Escucho Joy Division, Jimmy Hendrix, Pearl Jam y Sigur Ros, crecí con música de los 80 y 90 (en inglés y español, incluyendo cumbias) y a veces me doy la oportunidad de escuchar pop en inglés o música regional mexicana, sobre todo banda.

Formo parte de la Generación X y eso no es cosa fácil, pero sí es algo que me fortalece para la comprensión de un mundo que no deja de mutar.
