After having left home at the age of 18, Gonzalez enrolled at the Maryland Institute College of Art, in Baltimore, Maryland. Becoming less and less interested in the academic and economic sides of the art world, Lesser began pursuing his long-time interest in music and building strong relationships with like-minded artists and musicians.  Lesser still lives and works in Baltimore, and is a member of the Wham City Art Collective. Lesser has been involved in several musical projects in the past few years, including having started the short-lived band Cache Cache. Lesser plays guitar in The Tall Grass, a drone-tinged country folk group with friends and fellow alumni of the Institute, and in the past year and a half has been developing his solo project, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, using the name given to him at birth to write songs that combine his appreciation of magical realism with his respect for honest simplicity.
