Early Life

Hugo was born in Queens, New York, the son of Colombian parents, Hugo Fernandez sr., A restaurant chain owner, and Adela Fernandez, a retired City employee and clothing store owner. He was drawn to the arts through singing and writing songs and short stories at the age of 15. He finetuned his craft as Queens College alumni with help from mentor writer and professor Dr. Cecily Rodway. She graded him poorly in realizing his literary structures were unctiously verbose but naturally intuitive and formulatively creative.
