John Andrew Perello, AKA JonOne is a graffiti artist, borns in 1963 in New York USA. Also known as Jon156, is an American graffiti now living and working in Paris. Born in New York’s Harlem neighbourhood, Jon was introduced to street art at an early age, tagging his name on the city streets. In 1984, he founded the graffiti group 156 All Starz, which cemented his career path. Jon joins Steven to talk about his beginnings, and how he has built his personal artistic legacy on the streets of the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you grow up in modest beginnings, you have to find your own means of expression and creativity. For Jon, this manifested itself in street art. When you have the availability of recreational drugs in your environment, it can be difficult to keep it at arm's length, especially when it is so ubiquitous. For an artist to succeed, he has to have success. For an artist to grow and develop, a certain level of success must happen. It provides inspiration and reignites the fires in our belly. BEST MOMENTS 'I grew up in the No Man's Land' 'You had to be part of this cipher - this group' 'Basquiat and Haring are like the Picasso of their generation' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Jon One - https://jonone.com ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
