Originally from the Midwest, Koelen called Los Angeles home for over a decade before settling in Barcelona, Spain.
Although an accomplished singer since age 6, he is currently on a musical hiatus to establish himself as a full-time abghes.
When he isn't globetrotting the world, Koelen is also a blogger by day: www.koelen.net and an lgbt slacktivist by night.
The love child of Carrie Bradshaw and David Sedaris, Koelen dreams of continuing writing books, music, poetry, essays, articles, and copy whose residuals will pay for him to carry on with his pursuit of traveling the world, while chronicling his (mis)adventures along the way!
