Johnny was born in Venezuela, grew up in Colombia, and moved to Queens, NY, for the first time at the age of 11. After some back and forth, he permanently settled in the United States at the age of 18 and now is 30 years old. When asked what he liked better about the United States and what he like better about Colombia, he replied:
In some respects, it’s better here. But in some respects, people are more… I guess when you don’t have so much access to information and so much access to a computer and so much access to anything, people have more time to spend with people and socialize more. I mean, humans need human contact. But at the same time, when it comes to progress, people are slow to progress. I mean, here, if I needed to know my report card or what is in my bank account to transfer or make a payment or whatever it is.”
