Louie "KR.ONE" Gasparro in "LIC & Astoria Love Letter"

Описание: Legendary graffiti writer Louie “KR.ONE” Gasparro recounts his earliest influences: his family, his neighborhood of Astoria and its rich culture, and the rolling art of NYC's subways. Louie credits his achievements to the things he learned by being a curious kid growing up in Astoria. His neighborhood exposed him to underground music and art that inspired him to become a musician, artist, and author - a path that has taken him around the world, but always back home. Listen to Louie's inspiring message of why you should never give up in life.

Louie is an artist, writer, author, actor, producer and musician who has played with several NYC heavy metal bands, and today plays drums and guitar in his current musical project, Starchitect. Connect with him on Twitter @LouieGasparro and Instagram @originalkr1.
