I'm a deejay and a graffiti artist out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan also known as the L.E.S from Avenue D. I now live in Middletown New York. I've been playing music on and off since 1977. I have been doing graffiti art since 1976.

I lived at 277 E 4th Street, where it all started for me. That's where I learned about spinning or deejaying if that's what you want to call it. I learned from watching my cousin eddie a.k.a GOTOVER TWB crew a.k.a The Wild Boys, from back in the days. He played music at 10th Street Park in the Lower East Side on Avenue D. That park was always jumping off in the summer times. That was the place to be back then.

I also learned my graffiti skills from my cousin GOTOVER and my uncle Pedro a.k.a ALCAPONE. I would watch when they would throw tags in books and on the walls. They would show me how to do letters and how to write. They also told me if my mom found out that they showed me how to write, they would fuck me up LOL.

I knew writers like LEE TMA, BLONDIE TMA, PUMA TWB, PISTAL PETE TWB, BOONIE TWB, DEAL TMA, LEX and LIL LEX TWB and LWB, ROBOT TMA, SONOVER TWB, RUBBER BAND TWB, WILLIE REE 4TH STREET BOYS, LONDIE 4TH STREET BOYS, TRAY BAG TWB, and the list goes on and on.

But wait, I can't forget the new school graffiti artists, like my cousin BEV ONE and BECK ONES PHO, MEC ONES, my cousin DAST ONE and RVEE TWR, SCHEME TNS, my cousin DECK ONES PHO, JVONES SBB.LBC, WATER IBM.LOD.YNN.TCB.LBC, DONTAY FC.IBM.TC-5IVE, DUSTY LUV.LBC, RIKONES ADS.LOD.LBC.TCB my brother HEC ONES a.k.a DELAY LBC.LOD.TWB.TCB, RAD LK'S.LBC.PHO.LOD.TCB, LOST ADS, LEVEL ONE a.k.a NEST ONE, DISC ONE ADS, SURE LBC, RUSH ADS, PHOBIA ADS, SERO ADS, ROB MONEY RFA, END ONES TWR, KINE SKI OUT TWR, REIN SDA, PONE SBB.LBC, MIGONE TWR, FR ONES TWR, HIST IBC.TCB.LOD.LBC, CHASE IBM, POKE IBM, TAN ONE SDA, CASH ONE SDA.RFA.OUT.TNS, COOL C, SHAME HTC.LBC, GO 4 SBB, and again the list keeps going on and on.

I'm also a ham operator who talks on c.b. radio and ham radios, worldwide. My handle is {bad boyee: unit- 515}. Before that the handle was desire. Who knows maybe I'll hear you on the airwaves.

I'd also like to thank my Uncle Able for always playing that loud music at his crib back in the day. He made sure I had that soul in me. I love all you guys for keepin it real. I'd also like to thank my grandmother Carmen Torres may she R.I.P., my grandfather Tango Torres, my mother Sally for always being there for me and putting up with me. But also my kids Ace, Arista and my little Carmen. With out them I wouldn't be the person I am today.
