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.

Microsoft rocks the hip hop tablet!

Even if you watched the 55th Grammys this weekend, you may have missed a big hip hop moment. It happened during the commercial break from none other than Microsoft!

Here's the video below. May be hip hop is the only way to make the new Surface tablet cool. Trust Jon Chu, the man behind teen dance films like "Step Up 2: The Streets" and "Step Up 3D," to inject some energy and vibes into the office. And watch out for the Bay Area's Bangerz who did the music for this advert.

Check out the beatboxing Chinese executive assistant and b-boying boss man! :) Better known as Sweepy Molina (thanks for the heads up Christie Z.)

Ruby Skye club with Sasha

We spent Friday in town as we got ready to go clubbing - Britt's mate Scott Carrelli was warming up for Ja's mate Sasha, who's voted #4 in the DJ world right now! The crew - Ja, Britt, Kev, Jay and I - hung out at the swish Clift Hotel in Union Square before hitting the club. That was a nice spot even though you needed a mortgage to pay the bar tab ;-)



We walked across to Ruby Skye, past the line and into the lift (elevator) to the stage door. That feeling of walking out on stage when you have no business being there is an odd one, but one I'm happy to get accustomised to ;-) Hhaha. Whatta blad! The crowd at Ruby Skye was jumpin' and I love that Mickey Mouse dude! Check him in the photos above.


I fell asleep at a clubbing friend of a friend's house, as you do after some 'Jack In The Box' post-clubbing munchies! There was a hotch-potch of people there: an advertising executive, an industrial engineer...so San Fran, baby!! I was too tired to be polite so I got a cushion and laid back to Zzzzz....As it happens, that bloke whose house it was was ex-NSA...mental, eh?!
