Initially introduced to HipHop culture as a Bboy Mistery then began writing rap lyrics and also expressing himself visually as a graffiti writer. Mistery still maintains his Bboy roots and although he no longer competes in any of the high level competitions he still maintains his connection to the scene as a host, judge and coordinator of many of the major events, such as; R16, Battle of the Year, Freestyle Sessions and Uprock.
