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.

Massive...back on the Attack

"In Massive Attack’s world, “Heligoland” is as close to cheerful as it gets, and, once your ears adjust, you can hear a deliberate kind of celebration winding through the music. There are no fast numbers, though. Plenty of bands can do that." New Yorker

Read about how Massive Attack came into being in this New Yorker article. Sasha Frere-Jones did her homework with only one small error: Willie Wee was an M.C., not a D.J.! For an interview with Massive Attack about the making of Heligoland go to BBC 6Music.
