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.

Portishead come to LA...

What's up, Bristol? You seem to like LA right now! This time around it's Portishead's time to come to town for their Coachella festival rehearsal. The excitement surrounding their only US show for 10 years helped sell-out tix...but if you were too lazy or disorganized to sort some out (don't look at me ;) ) you had a chance to cop some super-rare tix for this rehearsal show for fans and industry-types.

Portishead's presence on US soil also coincides with the release of the band's third album, simply entitled, "Third". And it's been three years since the last one! I wrote about it on the SEEN blog. You can pre-order on the band's website.

Here's my video edit from the amazing Aztec-inspired Mayan Theater - it's almost like you were there, right?!
