Born in 1980, Rafael is an award-winning classical violinist-turned-teen-popstar, hailing from Monaco. He was widely regarded as a child prodigy during his active years, and served as the face of Ephrem Records during the label's hugely successful transition out of the classical niche and into the booming pop-music market during the late 90's-early 2000's.

His career started at the age of four, and by the time he had graduated from Juilliard at the age of 21, his passion and enthusiasm for music had burned into ash. The main events of his story takes place between 2008-2015, and follows his efforts to manage his mental health, interpersonal relationships, and his musical identity.
