Profile:
Born in 1988, in Bucharest, Romania, VLAD started B-Boying at age 16. His favorite styles are power moves and tricks, mostly tricks. VLAD's power, flavor and original moves make an extraordinary mixture.

At age 17, VLAD became a member of the crew Supersonic. Supersonic represented Romania at many international contests and came in the first 5 in most of them and will be competing there every year. KAKU from Mortal Combat and Hong 10 from Drifters (winner at Reb Bull BC One 2006) are his biggest inspirations because they do crazy power moves but are also excellent dancers.

VLAD lives in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and he really likes the vibe there. The dance scene is continually growing with numerous events throughout the year. He feels that B-Boying and the whole Hip Hop culture give people the chance to communicate beyond language barriers. People from different cultures and religions come together to celebrate their worldwide culture at events like the RED BULL BC ONE.

What VLAD likes most about breaking is the battle. The members of Supersonic are like brothers in war and battling with his crew is the best. Knowing he gives his all makes him feel extremely good. In a competition you usually see breakers with angry faces directed against the opponent. But for VLAD, it’s not only about winning. VLAD really enjoys battling and when he enjoys something, smiling comes naturally to him. Be prepared to see him battle with a big smile!

For VLAD the number-one tool to win a battle is attitude.
