OG CHINO: Korean Cholo, Tour Manager, Artist, Owner of Escala

“Seoul born, Bogotá raised, L.A. grown, Brooklyn aged.”

In this episode OG Chino talks about his journey of being born in South Korea, spending his formative years in Colombia then moving to Los Angeles where the Latino / Cholo community embraced him. From LA to Dallas to NYC, to globe trotting as the tour manager for the The X-Ecutioners and back to LA where he opened Escala, a LA Colombian Korean restaurant in Korea Town.
