Ramzi Adek grew up in the South of France where he was introduced to drawing by his aunt and uncle. This quickly developed into more than a simple hobby for him.
He moved to Paris when he was a teenager, and his passion for drawing turned into one for street art. He joined the Parisian underground graffiti scene, influenced by the American culture of the 80's and 90's. "I'm a product of popular culture from that time," he says, " I watched a lot of American television series, and listened to a lot of music then." His art makes a lot of references to Mr T, Muhammad Ali, Rocky, Arnold and Willy, Michael Jackson, and the pop artist Keith Haring, just to name a few.
Ramzi didn't limit himself to street art and worked for a while as a DJ and in music production. His passion for Chicago house music led to his success as a promoter and party organizer, and then DJing and setting up his own record labels, 'Dirty Musik' and 'Bossley Records'. This experience helped nourish his creative side and from street art, he eventually moved on to become a pop artist. You can now see him paint on canvas, but not exclusively - cars, clothes or shoes are also perfectly acceptable media to apply his colorful spray paint.
