His dance crew, Elite Force provided the edge behind Mariah’s well known videos and live shows.Though being an Astronaut was his dream, it ended when he first saw the television show Soul Train. His other influences included his cousin Charles, Michael Jackson (the early years),The Lockers and The Electric Boogaloos.
