Tell us a bit about you, when you started writing? Why you started writing? And what was your first tag?
I write Leftone, always have, mainly because I cant think of anything else haha. Mr Baker is always reminding me of what crap letters it is but whatever, I make it work…I’ve been aware of graffiti and sketching it since about 2008 but only really started taking it seriously in 2009/2010 when I met Mr Baker.

What’s your favorite paint brand?
My favorite paint brand has to be the German Montana’s (Gold and Black) but ill never say no to a can of the good old Checkers Brilliant.

What’s your favorite part of graffiti?
I paint for myself, so I’d have to say that piecing, even though some days it can be extremely frustrating, is my favorite element of graffiti because while im painting, I feel as if im detached from the world. And then when you’re finished with your meditation session there is a beautiful artwork lift behind…fantastic :)

Describe your style briefly
Graffiti is about expressing yourself like you can nowhere else, so why put a label on what you’re doing? I try to make my letters flow as much as possible without adding in pointless extensions, I like to have a clean uncluttered piece. 

Artistic or bomber?
As long as I have a can in my hand I don’t mind… even though nothing beats the feeling of getting home safely after a late night of bombing, I guess I prefer the artistic side, mainly because its more chilled and you end up being able to paint for longer and have a sick time with homies.

Dodgiest graffiti experience?
I try not to be an idiot while im out bombing but every now and then you have that close call. Thank goodness I haven’t been caught yet, I just don’t think its worth going to jail for the night, know what I mean?

People who inspire you?
I have lots of writers I look up to for inspiration.

Anything you would like to say?
Shouts to everyone I love and to all you writers still putting it down!
