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.

Check out LXD and their performances out at www.thelxd.com for high resolution versions of the videos. The LXD will also be featured in Chu’s newest release, Step Up 3D, coming to theaters soon.
"And from these bedrooms, living rooms and garages with cheap webcams lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow. Our Fred Astaire, our Gene Kellys, our Michael Jackson are right at our fingertips...so we created the LXD, a sort of 'Legion of Extraordinary Dancers,' a 'Justice League of Dancers,' that believe that dance can have a transformative effect on the world..."
