Biography

For me, it all started with MTV. In the 90s, we began watching music videos from the US and became interested in different styles of music and fashion. Hip hop in particular caught my attention because it was different from what we were used to. It was like something groundbreaking.

I remember that my classmate bought a tape, ‘Rap in Madrid’. Then we realised that there were more people in our country doing things related to hip hop. My classmate made his first graffiti sketches, copying the graffiti by Mast that appears on the cover. From then on, our interest grew more and more.

In 1993, we painted our first graffiti under a bridge where the underground passed. We painted a piece together. His tag was KIS and mine was JUN.

My first graffiti in 1993 in Valencia, Spain

Style

I don't really define myself by a particular style. Although you can see in many of my graffiti pieces that the letters are simple and easy to read. I call it semi-wildstyle. I've always been concerned that people should be able to understand what is written there when they see my graffiti, my name as a graffiti writer. Added to that is my sketching process and the freedom to do what I like. I think graffiti reflects a lot about each graffiti writer: their personality, their character.
