I've been Em-ceeing, Breakdancing/B-Boying, Graffing, Beat-boxing, and doing Fine-Arts as well, all five, since 1993. Check out my blogs, above, for more information on me and at my "Upcoming Shows" on this very page!! I do shows with The M-Squared Art Crew (www.myspace.com/msquared_art). Peace and God Bless you all.

Tomas Break Dancing. 3/11/08
In the Video below, I was one of the Breakers, doing swipes and bridge-into-a-1990. The video was for Core Rythm's Freedom Song. It came out hot. Judge for yourself. Enjoy!

Below is an Interview of me
M-Squared Art Production: Tomas discuss his art forms. Video 1 from Marthalicia (m)2 on Vimeo .
Below is a video interview of what M-squared Art did, live art, collaborating with other artist, musicians, public performers, and the Hella/Mad Crew! You'll see video clips of my sister, Marthalicia; my brother, Jorge; and myself, Tomas "Hykumaster" Manon, doing live art along with other artists, and--with my brother--painting on semi-nude models. The result was very interesting. Check it out below. Enjoy!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/10/2006
Band Website: myspace.com/hykumaster
Band Members: HYKUMASTER: The B-boy, Graff Artist, Em-cee, Fine Artist, Beatboxer, Marine Corps Veteran, Full Circle Cadet, Personal Trainer, and Breaking Instructor.
Influences: I am a BIG Naruto Shippuden fan, so right now (June 7, 2008), that Anime, along with Hayao Miyazaki's numerous works, have empowered my lyrical and artistic drives. The books entitled "Art and Fear" and "The Artist Way" have also opened me up creatively. Both of these books have me now doing my music, art and performing arts with The M-Squared Art Crew (http://www.myspace.com/msquared_art) with renewed passion. This is all fuel for my music.

Also a great influence growing up ARE The Four Elements of Hip-Hop: Mc-ing, Beat-Boxing, Graffiti, DJ-ing, and Breaking; my influences are ALL old, present, and new art-forms... And...You!

Biggup to Full Circle and ALL B-boys and B-girls, and ALL Break Masters.

It all began for me in 1993, in high school. I was introduced and fell in love with Hip Hop, completely. My schoolmates from F. H. La Guardia High School of Music and Art & Performing Arts (1993-1998, plus the many friends I made there after graduation) were all pivotal to my multi-artistic growth. Especially Angelo and Wylee who have worked with me to this day. Subcon, especially.

Many Thanks to Africa Bambata, Kool Herc, and KRS-1!! They kept it Popping. I gravitate towards underground Hip Hop plus contemporary underground music movements. I grew up listening to Bobito the Barber and Stretch Armstrong, on 89.9 FM, Thursday nights. I like House, Funk, Soul, B-boy Breakbeats, and Fela Kuti!! I like classical music and jazz.

This list always gets longer....pretty much all good music of all eras, good music, music of the soul, to sum it all up. Below is the WORST KUNG FU AUDITIONS EVER clips. Enjoy. I laughed till tears came out! Peace, Ma' Peoples!

Sounds Like: a river with a bridge over it.
