Olivier Riquelme

When he was 10, Olivier and his family moved to Cayenne, French Guyana, in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. The family moved back to Metropolitan France when Olivier was 16.

I will never forget my first birthday in Los Angeles. Back then we could still go to Mulholland Dr. in the evening and enjoy the view. I sat on the wall, New Order was playing down at the Hollywood Bowl, and I spent hours staring at the city lights. I knew then, I knew this would not be easy, but I also knew I made the right choice.
