Estevan Oriol began his career in the entertainment industry in the late 1980s as a club bouncer at Los Angeles’ most popular Hip Hop clubs and infamous Hollywood hangouts. It was there that Estevan first linked up with his Soul Assassin brothers from South Gate, Cypress Hill. Eager to expand his knowledge of the business, Estevan secured a job as tour manager for the rap group, House of Pain, in 1992. Estevan invoked his unique photography style to catalogue the outrageous experiences he had on tour and began taking pictures of his neighborhood homies and the low rider culture. In 1995, after collaborating on various projects with Mr. Cartoon, a world famous Los Angeles based artist, the two joined forces in 1995 to create Joker Brand Clothing. In 2006, Estevan teamed up with clothing powerhouse, Upperplayground, noted leader in specialty artists’ inspired t-shirt lines. Today, in addition to being CEO of Joker Brand Clothing and his full time career as a photographer, Estevan directs music videos. Recently, Estevan Oriol entered the feature film industry as a director. Brian Grazer and his company, Imagine Entertainment, along with Universal Pictures, chose to partner with SA studios by requesting from Estevan a three picture deal in which he could direct three movies of his choice. In late 2009, Estevan Oriol will release LA Woman through Drago book publishing. www.EstevanOriol.com
