sebastian aka angel

Fridae speaks with 20-year-old Sebastian aka Angel, creator of the wildly successful Australian youth-based website, mogenic.com.

Barely an adult, Sebastian is the creator and managing director of the world's most popular gay and lesbian youth website, Mogenic.com, attracting about 230,000 readers each month. Some 60% are from the US, the rest from Australasia and Europe.

By day, the 20-year-old works as the production manager of Australian gay site Outbiz.com. He also volunteers as the Co-Chair of the Twenty 10 Association, a gay and lesbian youth support group.

Angel - a nickname coined by a user that stuck - lives in Sydney Australia right near the Oxford Street scene.

We speak to him and find out more about his growing up experiences.
