( Film Maker, Actor, Writer, Krump Dancer, host & Correspondent ) #podcast #show #creatortocreatorsI first fell in love with cinema at a very young age due to my late Father Jamie when he wouldtake me to Blockbuster & Hollywood video rental stores in North County San Diego almost on adaily basis. In 2005 during my freshman year of High School Through students who’d becomehis friends & Krump Mentors, I saw the krump documentary Rize in 2005. It and my friends atschool got me initiated into the krump culture from then fast forward 15 years to now I stillkrump. In 2012 my dad passed from Cancer, then I and my mom decided to move to LA becauseI wanted to chase my dream of being a Film Maker in the Film Industry.I started networking and learning as I went. Eventually, in 2014 I met Singer/Comedian/stylistO’neal Mcknight when I went to see his first comedy set at the Laugh Factory. In doing so wetalked before his set, exchanged info and he told me to meet him outside after his set. After hisset, I went outside where a film crew awaited me and him. He was starring in his own reality tvshow for the lifetime channel and wanted me to be in the scene they were shooting as one of hisentourage members in front of the laugh factory. After that from 2014 - 2018, I kept gettingdancing, acting roles, & crew jobs on youtube web series and movies such as Russell Simmon’sAll Def Digital series “Cracker Jackson” to krumping in La La Land.In 2018 I decided to step out of the cycle of Just being content with dancing / Acting roles and tochase my initial goal of Film Making. I Rallied friends iv made in the industry since moving toLA to that point and made a Dc Comics Fan Film called “Fair Play”.
