HISTORY.

….my history beginning in the distant 2002 when hip hop came in my life threw TV’s show where were “Beny Kimoto”. After this show I started dance in  my room, at school where in one day guy invited me to the place for practice with all bboys of Liege. I entered in the room and directly understood – IT’S DEAL OF MY LIFE !!! I can’t describe my feelings in this moment. Only what I can say – after this practice  I stoped did football what continued 10 years from my childhood. I meat Jorge “Rai”, “Starflam members“ who gave to me the possibility knows what is it “stage”. There I took different experience with artists and shows like “euro song for kidz”. A little bit later were created our crew where the members Bugsy, Kiffy and me. At the beginning we called “Ugly people” like a chapter of old school crew of Liege but real “uglies” didn’t agree with us and asked choose another name. From this time we calling OPB (One Peace’s Boys). We started took part in different battles in Belgium and 2006 were our “gold” year. I had too many battles during all the year, we and personally I wined the battle for battle.  After this “Hello, Holland, Germany, France….”. I opened for myself European area and more after USA. I was there 5 times for share skills with “Powerfull Pexter”  and took american’s old school inspiration for my dance. Battle for  battle – won or lost. It was different periods but my success grew and grew. I travelled, showed my style and represented   myself and my crew. Time for time I began be international bboy. One note, my success grew with Djing what I started in 2009. How it’s happened ?! My cousin bought dj’s desk  and started mixing. We learn everything together and taught each other.  I was soo excited to creat beat how I want and how I felt break music at the moment. Time goes, I found different technics of scratch, created different mixes, wrote break beats. What always make my mind in tonus  - it’s modern generation. They mix everything and everywhere. Really, my interest for music and dance grows more hot. What do this “kids” around us real fantastic. That’s why we must be on the alert and don’t let “hip hop die”. In the end I want remained everyone - Hip hop never die he is just evolve.
