Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum.

After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing. LA lets me wear flip-flops year round and has given me an appreciation of Mexican food! Check my Hall/Fame.

This is why I love Hip Hop

I was online sifting through trash and came across "Elsewhere", aka David Bernal and his body popping performances at a (Korean) dance competition called Kollaboration. In 2001, Elsewhere comes out of nowhere (no pun intended) and wiped the floor with the competition. He comes back in 2004 and shows amazing ingenuity and talent.

Hip Hop in all its forms permeates every city and every culture. Hip Hop's a true melting pot, and just keeps evolving and inspiring people from around the world. Hip Hop, Ya Don't Stop!

Now, all Elsewhere needs is a stylist: this boy can't dress...mate, look at that 2004 outfit...Jeez! :-)

This is why I love Hip Hop. (This is why I love YouTube too!)
