2010, I was 9 years old. Often at night I wondered, how I would grow up?

I would reflect on what I wanted my future to become. I dreamt of a life of freedom, financially and creatively. I had no idea it would be the dance that changes my life for the better.

I was always a hyper kid who loved to show out when possible. I performed fun and silly raps at middle school talent shows which built me up as a character.

One time for hat day in 8th grade I wore a cooking pot on my head. My teacher called me to the principals office and she made me take it off lol.

This NFT includes the original video of me that Rihanna posted on her Instagram to celebrate her Grammy nomination.

It was my first huge viral moment. Katy Perry saw it and invited me to Saturday Night Live.

May 2017, Debut of The Floss going viral on-stage with Katy Perry on Saturday Night Live.

This episode of SNL was the finale of season 42. There were 13 million live viewers! I was dubbed The Backpack Kid on the internet soon after it aired + got verified on Instagram 3 days later.

Katy Perry posted a video of her and I dancing on Instagram right before the big performance that would change my life. Met the Migos, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and more on set. I came back to school the next Monday a freaking legend.

At the end of the very last set, everyone who was involved was on stage and I took this NFT video on my phone showing the set and everyone involved that night.

This event jump started my entire career and had me start traveling the world for all kinds of events.

I won a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for best dance trend March 2018. This video is of me dancing with John Cena.

It is biggest award I’ve gotten so far in my career. I got walk the orange carpet and meet a lot of Nickelodeon stars + cool people like Will Smith! Ran into Migos again.

Received the physical award which is an orange blimp 3 years later. I always dreamt of having one since a kid when I watched the show on TV.

Fun fact: I received the physical award which is an orange blimp 3 years later because it got lost in the mail! I always dreamt of having one since a kid when I watched the show on TV.

This was my first time traveling out of the country (April 2018) as “The Backpack Kid” and I made national headlines in the paper when I went to Chile

I went to Santiago, the capital of Chile to do a commercial for their local apple juice brand. The brand gave me a week supply of apple juice but I loved it so much and drank everything in 1 day!

I did some elementary school pop ups while I was in town to show the kids love. Even picked up a little Spanish during the short time I was there! I really enjoyed learning and experiencing South American culture.

I got this jersey with @thebackpackkid on it from the Sacramento Kings, July 2018 and wore it during my performance at their game.

I’ve done multiple performances related to basketball and appearances for the NBA. I got the opportunity to dance on the dance cam at multiple games, a celebrity basketball game with Steve Francis in Maryland where I made 0 shots, The Swish Swish music video for Katy Perry was at a basketball court… I even walked on the court after the All-Star game and met people like J Cole, and Odell Beckham Jr. The Harlem Globetrotters gave me a jersey with @thebackpackkid on it too.

December 2021 – Me with my old manager’s business partners (Cbass + Diwang / Motion Family). Mobbing Miami, having a great time, getting work done.

The gang took a business trip together after my career-long manager passed away. Network away from Atlanta (our home city). It was Art Basel in Miami. We did a bunch of things like going on a super yacht hosted by Cheetos. The new environment allowed me to think about my future more clearly. Going to Miami actually gave me the idea of dropping NFTs.

WE LIT ASF ON A YACHT

Feb 19, 2022: What my goals are for the future?

One of my biggest career goals is to be in a big movie. I want to pop out of a limo and walk the red carpet for the premiere. I want to show the world my other skills and passions and prove to people that I’m more than just the floss dance. I am going to work my hardest as I grow up and let my legacy continue into adulthood. My motivation through it all is to be a voice for the people that support me and show them that anything is possible.
