Curly Castro was born in Brooklyn, New York in the late seventies. As a child he was surrounded by the grit and diversity of his neighborhood and finds himself still inspired by all that his upbringing in Flatbush had to offer. He found himself heavily influenced by the visually striking graffiti laced trains, the fluid uninhibited movement of break dance, the political and social tensions of his community and the dizzyingly distracting boom-bap beats serving as the soundtrack.
