In his teens, he began a thorough training in Popping with Montreal’s elite: MonstaPop, 7 Starr and Venom. With an insatiable desire for Hip Hop culture, he embarked on a succession of travels in order to train under world renown dancers, compare his skills on an international scale and add styles to his lexicon, such as Bruk Up, FlexN and Hip Hop. His credits include television appearances on Révolution and in several commercials for Little Burgundy, Gaz Métro, Subway and Tourisme Montréal. He featured as the “Angel of Change” in the Kin Fables trilogy, recipient of the Best Cinematography prize at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
