Sup!!/p
I am originally from New Zealand born in Invercargill and when I turned 1 I was raised in Lanzarote for 6 years, where I learnt to speak spanish. I ended up coming back to NZ when I was 7 and lived in Waikeria town (not the prison hehe). My grandfather was the actual director. I guess they tried a Scared Straight on me and showed me around the place hehehe. After a couple of years there we moved over to Hamilton where I lived a huge chunk of my life 18 years. Lived in Fairfield/Chartwell. After many years of life in Mooloo (Waikato) town, I ended up living in Auckland for 5. Over in Takapuna, Beach Haven and Glenfield. Got into film work... and then after falling ill I decided that this was a good opportunity for me and head over to Europe to live in the Canary Islands (Lanzarote) of Spain (where my mother is originally from). I have been living here at this point for 2 and a half years (altogether 10) and am loving it.

Now these are my influences:

Flight of the Conchords!! Ali G!! Run DMC!! Beasty Boys!! Alternative Hip Hop!! Bob Marley, Kayne West, 2Pac, Farrell, Snoop Dog!! Notorious BIG. Actually just got to meet the lead singer from Us3 whom are famous for Cantaloop in Lanzarote, what a buzz man!! Chur bro!! What an inspiration that was!! Scribe all the way bro!! Che Fu!! Misfits of Science!! Fast Crew... wicked beats!! I also like R&B old Skool and a bit of Rock. When I was 9 I remember breakdancing hit NZ, and that's the age that I started with it I guess hehe. Memorable artists: Grand Master Flash, Malcolm Mclaren, Fat boys and many more, actually during that time I brought the Beet Street tape (it's amazing how music formats have revolutionized, well I guess it also shows my age hehehe).

The Name Kiwito means Little Kiwi!! Well would do in spanish.

Also like the sounds House music emits!!
