Born and raised in Puebla, Mexico, Israel was born into Mexico's graffiti scene. His dad is the legendary old-school graffiti artist, Mosh. Israel began to graffiti professionally when he was 15 years old. His dad used to own a graffiti store where Israel helped out. His dad was also the one that coordinated the Graffiti Expo in Mexico where the elite of the elite would show up and put it down for their crew and country that they were representing. Later on, the artist name Bader was given to Israel after paying his dues in the street scene. Bader is now 27 years old and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Bader's historical graffiti pieces have given him a name in New York since his roots are represented through his artwork. Since his move to New York, Bader has mastered many different skills including airbrushing and tattooing. Bader is tattooing more than ever but still has a crew based out of Brooklyn, New York.
