Where are you from?
I am from Algeria , I ve grown up in Bourges and Paris and I lived in almost all major French cities. But I keep my background and Algeria is a place I like to paint (Algiers , Oran ... ).
Hard to say " I come from ... " because I come from anywhere between Europe and Africa ...
Can you tell us something about the graffiti scene in your city?
For the moment I live in Bordeaux ( the city of wine ) for an average city the level of graffiti artists is very high here .
So everyone knows everyone ! But haters and toys are predominant ( it is here that I found a Toyer being toying one of my piece ! The dream of every graffiti artist !)
When did you start writing ?
I had the chance to start early graffiti (1990 ...) and especially with the best French graffiti artists ... Megaton , Shuck2 , Eraz ... which allowed me to start with a solid base!
a few people have had the chance to take their first graffiti with the best graffiti artists of this time!
Who, or what inspires you?
I started at the same time that the letters and characters so my big influence was Mode2 ... such a strong influence that I had to work to detach myself ! now I do not look at what others are doing ! which allows me to work my own style
Anything else you want to say?
yes a nice story ! I painted in the city when I got arrested and taken to the police station as a murderer ! but the chief of police was a graffiti fan ! and let me go out with my sprays , apologizing and asking me to make a canvas !
I left the police station watching the policemen who had arrested me smiling at them !
