Born in El Paso, Texas, Artson grew up surrounded by crime, high unemployment, and poverty. In a town where nothing came easy, he found an outlet of self-expression and hope through Hip Hop. He was first introduced to the culture in the early 80s, B-Boying (break dancing) with his peers in the streets and battling (competing) for respect. Thanks to years of tireless dedication to the art form, Artson is now a member of the world Famous Rock Steady Crew.
