Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

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. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

Where were you in 1992?

Did I say I am obsessed with a girl named Vashtie? Well, may be I'm over it now, but she's done a lot in her 23 years and next time I'm in NYC I hope I can hang at her club, 1992. Yep, I'm gonna bust out my satin adidas baseball jacket and big ass glasses and drink Red Stripe and Tennants Brew (it's an English Jamaican ting, 'ear me?)

This old skool thing has been brewing for a while. First, there was the Retro Kids, then the Cool Kids...what next? The New York Times (who sacked like 100 journalists this month) published a piece about the whole revival thing happening in New York with a feature on a club called 1992.

Why is it called 1992? Well, it's inspired by a song lyric from UK's very own M.I.A. who asked, “where were you in ’92?” on her recent album.
