Ishmael von Heidrick-Barnes was born and raised in San Diego, California. He attended Herbert Hoover High School and went on to study Religion and Theology at the University of San Diego. He is also trained in Surgical Technology.
Ish (as he is known by friends) has experience in a variety of fields including medicine, social work, and education. His true passion, however, has always been poetry. Initially inspired by his 7th grade teacher, Ish's first poem was published in High School.
Ish has worked and studied with Dr. Sam Hamod and the late Linda Brown.
In 2008 he collaborated with German sculptor Roger Rigorth at his LA ArtCore exhibit. He coedited the 2011 annual Magee Park Poets Anthology with Shadab Zeest Hashmi. Most recently, Ish has written lyrics for German musicians Andrea Hörkens and Thomas Roderburg (Tender Art). His writings have been translated into German and Spanish.
