About Me

We are all part of the same GANG. We share a common identity. We share a common goal. To stop the violence. To start the music. To disturb, incite and STIR a movement that changes the habits of people. Governments have let corporations poison our environment. War has destroyed communities and turned children into refugees. The rich and privileged have tricked us into believing that true fashion only exists in expensive name brands. Do not ask why, things are as they are. Dream of things that are beautiful, bolder, better and ask, "why not?" We will never die because we will never stop dreaming. We will win because we will never stop fighting. This ain’t hip hop. This ain’t rock and roll. This is Gang+ Stir + ROCK. All rebels welcome.
