Rhythm is a Language. Speak your Beat.

About Me

I was born in Las Vegas to a Filipino Mama and a Cuban Papa. Pops was in the Air Force, so we moved around alot. I've lived in Spain, Venezuela, and the Philippines, and here in the U.S. I've spent most of my time moving back and forth between North and South Florida. I can't complain, I've been blessed with a good life. I've seen a lot, and learned a lot. Hip Hop and breakin' are my life, and I feel blessed to be a part of it. It has given me a sense of self, opened countless doors, and introduced me to some of the most amazing and inspiring people.Breakin'is a labor of love. Only another bboy/bgirl can truly understand what I mean when I say once it is in your veins, you can never live without it. There is no patch you can take to get your fix. Some people go to jams to battle. I go to vibe with people that can relate to me. I like a good cypher just like I like good conversation. You can learn so much from both.I pride myself on not being a one dimensional person. Yes, there's more to me than just breakin', but you'd have to invest time to learn the rest. To sum it up, I love life, and love the people in my life. This world can be a harsh... I do my best to make it better.

My Interests

I'm all about Boyin' and B-People. I love the community that's come along with B-boyin' all over the globe. Truth be known, though, I could do with out some of the politics. I love music, almost all genre's, and I like performance art, spoken word, and I wish I had to check out more shows. I'm a really active person and I spend most of my time when I'm not at work breaking a sweat. I like to travel and check out the culture and art of far away places, and I like adventure and the outdoors. Life's a gift... might as well live a life worth remembering. So many things to do, so little time. But the most important thing in life is having people you care about with whom you can share the experiences and lessons learned.

I'd like to meet:

Creative peeps with humble hearts and a true appreciation for life.

Music:

Hip hop the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, The Roots, Common, Digable Planets, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, De La Soul, Jurassic 5, Blackalicous, Slum Village, Jean Grae, The Fugees.. You get the idea.. back in the day when Hip Hop with a conscience wasn't overshadowed by Pimp Cups and Grills...PortisHead, Tricky, Mazzy Star, Trip Hop etc, I like UK Garage, Jazz, Afro-Cuban beats, SpamAllstars of course, and Antibalas.. R&B.. Amel Larriux, Erika Badu, Jill Scott, etc.. House, Breaks....the list could go on and on and on.... FUSIK!!!

Movies:

Ummmmm.... What can I say, I love'em.

Television:

Most of the TV I watch is at work. Gotta keep in touch with the mass somehow. The rest of the time I'm out living my life instead of watching someone else fake one.

Books:

Books are great... but who has the time?

Breakin', Politics, and Self Fulfillment

Breakin'... For those of us that live and breath just to break another day, there's nothing like it, and nothing that can replace it.  It's like the love of your life that you just can't sha...

Saints and Demons

Sometimes pursuing everything you always wanted can lead you to embody qualities you never wanted to tarnish your essence.  Having to recognize that even you can possess those feelings can be so ...

The Truth about Me

I am nothing more and nothing less than one soul on a unique journey.  I am young, and I am more than anything, hoping to make the most and learn the most of every experience life has to offer me...
