Pablo Ramirez

Ramirez was raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn where he lived primarily with his mother, a chef and business owner of Jewish American descent. His father, who is of Dominican descent, worked as a lawyer. Pablo went to elementary, middle, and high school in Brooklyn, NY, where he developed a love for the arts, sports, and music. As a child he enjoyed spending time with friends, camping, and playing the drums. His father was very involved in his upbringing from spending time after school to do homework, teaching him to play Chess, and spending weekends playing on ice hockey teams. His father took Pablo on many trips, especially to the Dominican Republic to visit family. In April, 2019, his father took Pablo's abuela to San Francisco where they attended Pablo's art opening. His father exposed him to various types of music, including a mutual favorite: The Clash. Pablo would spend time with his father in Manhattan, where the latter lives.

The 2019 Supreme video Candyland directed by William Strobeck is dedicated to Pablo Ramirez. Ramirez also has the opening line in the video.

A few years after graduating high school, Ramirez moved to San Francisco from New York City.

In 2016, he appeared in the skate video Awaysted put out by Western World and filmed by Adam Anorga and Zane Timpson. In 2017, Pablo appeared in the video Adrenaline Junkie by GX1000. Ramirez, known for his fast skating and fearless outlook, rode down the steepest streets in San Francisco. Additionally, he volunteered with Shawn Connolly’s organization, San Francisco Skate Club, mentoring teens.
