"Started breaking in 2007, just before I was 14. My mum was convinced I wasn't active enough , despite playing sport regularly - 2-4 times a week. One of my Uncles DRAGGED me to the open space at Gloucester Guildhall. For the first few weeks I just sat out and watched. eventually, I started to try some things and the rest is history.

I first attempted to Bboy at the age of 8 - when seeing 'Breaking' the Movie on the tv in 1985. With no one to learn from and no Youtube (at that time!) - I gravitated toward DJing. I have since spun records for breakers in Birmingham, Oxford, Cirencester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud.
