Yo, welcome to another episode of In A Minute with Evan Lovett, coming to you live from the IAM studios in the heart of L.A.

And this episode is all about heart because my guest today is not just a true L.A. American dream story,

but a redemption story, a story of inspiration, a story of art continuing to grow and take over the world

and provide such a foundation for the people of Los Angeles and beyond.

I'm going to be here. All right. So there's so much to get into. All right. First and foremost,

I like the fact that you're born and raised in Pico Union, one of LA's most historic neighborhoods.

Now you live in Lakewood, which is another one of LA's most historic neighborhoods.

And when you were younger, it was just graffiti or tagging in the world,

didn't look at it like art.

Yeah.
