Biography: Growing up, Musa Elbulok has been the poster boy for obsessive fandom. At the age of eleven, he started drawing tons of one page comics on the front and back of loose leaf paper. The drawings were basically stick figures, the concepts were blatant rip-off's of popular animated shows and video games, but the story on the other hand would sometimes dip into humorous incidences he witnessed in real life. After high school, still inspired by the positive reactions he got from friends in the past, he sought out an education in computer science in the hopes of the chance to work in game design. However, he soon realized his desire and talent lied more in writing, and not programming or drawing. He then decided to make writing into a hobby, and focus his academic career on something completely different - Business. Even though he didn’t follow up on his hobby as much as he would have liked, he eventually ended up doing what he felt passionately about, when in late August 2007 he took the opportunity to become part of Detour Noir Studios.
