James was born in Texas but lived mostly in California in the states. He then moved to Korea for a year and a half and eventually ended up in New Zealand. He didn't really start to dance until high school. He began with the wave in his first year, moved onto robotic movements then eventually came to a style of his own. James created the first dance crew of his high school Funk n' Flex. Now you can see him dance wherever he goes whether it's in front of a mirror in the bathroom, inside the hallway of his dorm or even on his bed before he goes to sleep. James loves Hip-Hop and just started b-boying 5 months ago which he is also growing to love. He’s so excited to be in Hype because there are so many new styles out there to learn. James is a Freshman in Wharton thinking about majoring in Network Marketing or Finance.
