Win, loose or draw, battling is where the real experience is at.

Why B-Boying?
Since the day I started B-Boying, I never stopped. The experiences that I've gained through breaking are beyond what I could have ever imagined. The music is what keeps me going and I will keep on doing this as long as my body allows me to.

When did you start breaking?
I started in 1998.

What made you start?
Seeing breaking on TV made me wanna try it out.

How would you describe your style?
Raw.....Straight up.

What is your cultural background?
Half Nigerian half Finnish.

What inspires you?
The music inspires me. Also the competitive level of B-Boying around me makes me wanna practice harder.

How is the scene in your hometown or in your country in general? The scene has grown enormously during the past 5 years. It’s still small, but growing constantly.

What do you expect of the RED BULL BC ONE? To do my best and to come through hard.
