"Hip Hop gave me purpose. Now I give that purpose back — one student, one beat, one story at a time."
45 years teaching Hip Hop workshops internationally — schools, youth centers, and academies across every background.
Judging international competitions across England, Switzerland, Japan, China, Canada, and the Netherlands.
45 years producing performing-arts events, fundraisers, and programs worldwide.
Four decades of musical range — classic Hip Hop, R&B, House, Reggae, Salsa, Bachata and more.
Next Level Ambassador for the State Department — teaching Hip Hop as cultural exchange and conflict resolution.
Co-founded the Floorlords in 1981 — Boston's longest-standing B-boy/B-girl crew.
Deep music knowledge that speaks to multiple generations — not a one-style playlist.
More than music — real crowd connection, live hosting, and someone who knows the floor.
