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.

Oh my word...Bristol 1985...Hip-hop ya don't stop!

The Wild Bunch inspired all my Bristol homeboys...and then they amped it up and took it to London...Fresh. See the middle video for Newtrament vs. The Wild Bunch, London 1985. And the video of Freestyle 1985 in Covent Garden brings back memories. I jumped on the train to London and went to a youth club to pick up my tix from DJ Pogo as I remember.

Those were the days and look how far we've come! We are the hip-hop youth all grown up! To my homeboys: DJ Mista Dexter, DJ Wise, DJ Bubbles, Apish Angel, Inkie, FLX, Roni Size, Z-Boys, Krust, Krissy Kriss, Mushroom, 3D...
