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.

will.i.am's crib

I spotted this interesting article on will.i.am, one of hip hop's most popular producer/artists. Until reading it I actually didn't know Black Eyed Peas was an LA band. And so I also didn't know Los Feliz was where will.i.am has his studio inside his three-story 1920s Spanish house.

The L.A. Times's article talks with will.i.am and his designer, Liana Reid, about the vision and influences that led to the ecletic, rich, textured studio interior design complete with customized furniture and sound architecture. will.i.am calls it "California No-style"

Collector Of course will.i.am has collects art, but until now I've not seen what he's into and the article gives you a glimpse inside his collection. It also answered the question "who buys Ron English's work that keep his prices so high?" ;)
