Born in Denver Colorado, Diogenes Monk hit the road and lived out of his backpack when he was 17, hitchhiking, hopping trains, and sailing boats around America for a few years, before flying one way to Europe with a 200 dollar ticket. There he continued to travel with his dog Marco, and make a living through busking, all the while perfecting his craft, rapping, and songwriting. He now lives in Austria and is focusing on making his music full time, still travelling occasionally, and incorporating all the stories and perspectives he's gained along the way.
