Atom Alex Helling is an entrepreneur, traveler and observer with an unconventional story. He founded companies in Europe, America and Asia, wrote film scores with the best and pop songs for the worst. While living in Los Angeles, he struck a seven-figure deal with a major record label, won several songwriting competitions, and produced a documentary about Japanese manga and anime. Then he moved to Tokyo where he started another venture and lived through a 9.0 earthquake. He is still a songwriter and movie enthusiast. And he is also writing about all of the above.
