Mode 2

Mode 2 was born in Mauritius in 1967, spending my childhood in the tropics, before moving to the UK in 1976.
Punk had just started its own revolution, while reggae and dub were ever present around his South-East London neighbourhood.

After his school exams in summer ‘84, Mode 2 started hanging out at Covent Garden, the hub of the London Hip Hop scene, which he had discovered the year before.
His drawing ability led him to pick up the marker and spray-can, and Mode 2 was soon trying to make a name for himself, as part of a crew called The Chrome Angelz.
