Biography

[edit]

Vernhes was raised in Paris, France, before moving to the United States at a young age: "I grew up in Paris and moved to the states when I was 12. I ended up in New York at 20 to finish college, thinking I might go back to France afterwards and knew I could not go back before living here. I never left."[3]

Vernhes was also a member of the short-lived indie rock band Baby Tooth, playing guitar and backing vocals. The band released one single and an EP before becoming inactive in 1994.[4] His studio, Rare Book Room Studios, is named after the band's EP of the same name.
