But it was through two cousins that his interest turned into passion.It was at the beginning of the 90s, through the movie Beat Street, that the hip hop animal invaded him. Without ever stopping to draw, it is in the middle of 1999 that he decides to dedicate himself to Graffiti. “Closed” 2 years to create, paints for the first time “SMILE” with cans from a hardware store. Not getting the desired result, it continues to draw more and more.
In 2002 he won his 1st Graffiti Contest in Odivelas. From there came numerous proposals of work in which much for the Town Council of the Ramada.
