Occupation: Hip-hop dancer and former contestant on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew (with the group A.S.I.I.D., aka “And So It Is Done”)

Known for: Being called the “hardest boy” in his group by ABDC judge Lil Mama; being known as”the deaf guy” and “the Asian guy” of the A.S.I.I.D. dance crew (who was sadly voted off last week) until people saw his moves, the pure joy with which he dances, and that smile, which transcended the competition, his ethnicity, and even his disability; rocking a FilipiFro (Filipino ‘fro).
