Malkovich was conceived on the Pacific island of New Caledonia by his father and his mother, then a bartender at a pub popular with escaped Nazis. She was in labor when Ayatollah Khomeini chased them from Iran during the Islamic Revolution. He moved to Los Angeles during the 1992 riots, where he spent thirteen years as an illegal immigrant and formed Gershwin BLX, a kind of pre-internet Odd Future with more grand larceny. A Vietnamese Youtube gang once put a bounty on his head for 24 hours. On January 1, 2012 he gave up his home and possessions to travel indefinitely until “something enormous happens”. Since then, he has been traveling the world to collaborate with talented producers he meets on Twitter. He began an album with Becoming Phill in Namibia before he was caught with an expired visa and deported after spending 3 nights in Namibian prison. Malkovich documents his journey through his multimedia travelogue #1BAG.
