I was born in Hollywood, Florida and raised in Pompano Beach, Florida. I started my dancing journey in my neighborhood, CB County at the age of 7. 

My first inspirations were Michael Jackson, and my family’s dance crew, Hard Knox. But my dance crew were the ones who sparked my interest. My brother, Brandon Herbert was in that crew, and he used to record their trainings. He’ll bring them back home and I’ll watch them on a VCR mocking their same exact moves. One day, he caught me, and wanted to bring me in to a practice. Boy, wasn’t that tough! Just because I was a kid, didn’t mean they were going to take it easy on me. 

My mentor, I.O.TA. made me cry the first day. Not to be mean or anything, but because he saw the potential in me, and wanted to make sure I stayed level-headed. 

Fast forward 3 years later, all of that hard work came into fruition. At the age of 10, I won my first Poppin competition entitled “Soul Cypher” in 2008 in Gainesville, Florida. Basking in that accolade, I decided to actually take my talent serious. 

I’ve started to do more battles and performances in local areas like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Delray, Coral Springs, just a few to name. I started to travel to other states to engage with the other communities and gain a name outside of Florida. That resulted in me winning my first out of state battle, “King of The Street” in Philadelphia. 

Ending my heavy battling passion, I got a special call that changed my life.
During my senior year of high school, Dillard High, I received an audition to join Cirque Du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE show in Las Vegas, Nevada. I took full advantage of it, because I knew the vitality of this opportunity will shift my career to the next level. 

So I spent day and night preparing with the requirements they’ve provided. I graduated high school, and 1 month later, Cirque Du Soleil offered me a position to be a character called “TJ”, an ensemble dancer. 

I had to move out to Las Vegas right away, at the age of 19. Which was definitely a challenging process, but literally, the best decision of my life. A huge stepping stone for my career! 

After being there for two years, I became the back-up soloist, “Wink” and the exposure of doing shows every night and being active in the Vegas scene led to me being on bigger platforms like Red Bull, a Michael Jackson music video, Miss USA, performing for the LV Golden Knights Halftime show, performing with Walk The Moon in Life Is Beautiful and so much more to name! 

Cirque Du Soleil gave me a boost for my career, and I will forever be grateful for that company changing my life. The rest is history! Keep your eyes open for me. There’s so much more to be done.
