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.

It's gone to a good home...

It was a sad, sad day. My Verona red 1975 BMW 2002 had to go to an vintage car home where it could be loved, instead of upstaged by my Audi TT.

I got up early on this Columbus Day off and drove 40 miles to Pomona. It's in the middle of bumble-fuck nowhere. Well, it's on the way to San Bernadino. Hate it! On the drive there were familiar landmarks: Alhambra, West Covina...and then it was all a blur.

BMW Classics Apart from the oasis that is the 2002ad workshop, I have to say Pomona is tres depressing - even in the sunshine there was just not character, or signs of any culture. I couldn't wait to get on the bus to downtown LA.

Silver Surfer And the bus is sooo modern it's called the 'Silver Streak' - it's a double-bus caravan with all mod-cons. I slept most of the way and then jumped on another bus to my 'hood simply by calling '1-800-Commute' to find the bus. That Metro bus had GPS maps on the screen so you wouldn't miss your stop! Craaaazy! Love it!
