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.

Happy Year of the Rat!

I arrived during a major cold spell in the Big Apple...it hit -5 celcius on Sunday night like the Weather Channel promised! Yep, and it snowed on Sunday during one of the Chinese New Year parades I visited!

Flushing, Queens As soon as I arrived at JFK I headed over to Linda's (from Venice, CA) place and woke her up ;) After a cup of joe and a pastry we headed quick-step to Queens to see the start of the New Year parade. Naama (from The Valley, CA) was still in bed but we all met up later.

More? One parade wasn't enough, so on Sunday in the bitter cold Nicolette (from Silverlake, CA) and us went to Mott St. Chinatown to see some more revelry. Well, the parade was long gone after our leisurely, carb-filled breakfast, but the folks were still enjoying the noise and confetti-throwing opportunities!
