Fors was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1958. At the age of three he and his family moved to Miami, Florida escaping Castro's communism. There he studied painting. In 1967 his family moved to Mexico City, where he lived for the remainder of his childhood. Later on he moved again to Guadalajara where he has lived most of his life. In 1976 he studied anatomical drawing with Robert Martinez and started working with musical groups such as Mask and Lepra. In 1985 he developed an ambitious project with Carlos Esegé (née Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez) called Duda Mata.
