Valenzuela was born into a poor family living in Culiacan in 1986. He was raised by his mother, his grandmother, and his three older sisters. At age three, he moved to Los Angeles with his mother and his sisters. At age eight, he moved with his mother and his sisters, to his stepfather’s middle class home in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley.

When young, Valenzuela taught himself illustration, painting, writing, photography and film. He found community in the Los Angeles punk scene. At age eighteen, he began working and living on his own. Temporary jobs and apartments were means to live and make art.

In 2006, at age nineteen, Valenzuela produced his first group art show, Arte Nuevo, in Los Angeles, and dropped out of college, after two semesters of studying art. He began working as a medical receptionist and interpreter, and studying western mysticism and meditation. Between 2006 and 2012, Valenzuela produced four multimedia art exhibitions in the Los Angeles underground art scene, and collaborated on seven more. In 2011, he released his first book, Dreams I Remember 1.

In 2012 Valenzuela created Galeria Somnia, a production company to release work through, and after briefly living in Barcelona, he moved to Portland. From 2013 to 2014, he studied filmmaking. In 2015, he wrote and produced his first professional short film, Urban Chic, and began his career as a camera, lighting, and grip technician. In 2016 he co-founded and ran Fair Game Film, a small creative agency that made low budget commercials, music videos, and short films until 2018.

In 2019 Valenzuela moved back to Los Angeles where he is a full-time artist, writer, and filmmaker. To date Valenzuela has produced and directed four short films, and worked on hundreds of productions.
