MY Empire
About Me.
Born premature, an alter boy, Inspired by my brother who fought leukemia. Growing up, I found inspiration in my older brother Jose, who was a talented artist with a passion for architecture. He was very creative, smart and loved by many. Watching him dance at gatherings, he was a smooth breakdancer and pop locker, left a lasting impression on me. He was not just my brother, but also my role model in life. His legacy continues to drive me. He gave me my vision in life. If you were to ask me who is my role model? Thats my brother, My hero.
At the age of 10, December 18. i tried to save my brothers life. I gave him the bonemarrow transplant. Unfortunately the day after New Years, he passed away.
I lost my brother to cancer
I lost my mind

In Chicago, the warehouse where my wife and I worked was a mojorly impacted wehn the recession hit. We became homeless living in the streets of Chicago. Sleeping under the stars. My wife and I would go to shelters asking for help, we needed a roof over our childrens heads, we needed a home. The shelters wanted to separate the boys with me and the girls with my wife. There was no way I was going to let them separate us. We stayed together and lived in our vechicle for 8 months.
My wife was able to save some of our valuables. The kids stumbled accross my V.H.S tape of me breakdancing
With the blessing of god, Catholic Charities put us in a home. Once they saw that tape they wanted t o learn. and I said if ou wan tolwife But my wife and I said if you want to learn how to breakdance keep your grades up then i'll teach you. My kids were serious, they started coming home with all good grades and they convinced me .... This is where the jounrey started. This is is what the V.H.S tape that got it all started
It started in our living room. We turned it into our studio. From there I started teaching my kids how to breakdance. Starting with the basic moves , which lead to power moves, choreography, transitions, stunts, and then rountines. They started to get invited to breakdance competition. Competing and defeating older crews. To starting to get recognition in the hip hop scene
I have always been creative in my life. God gave me beautiful blessings who wants to make my vision a reality. Throughout my years in this entertainment industry i have passed down a legacy that can beyond us. To teaching my kids the elemnets of hiphop. I have been able to take my family to a whole new level to where they became viral sensations
