Born and raised in New York City, he began his graffiti career as a sixth grader in 1991. With the name “Rime” he started off doing tags and throw-ups (the raw basics of graffiti making). Rime eventually found more room for creativity through piecing. In 1996 he moved to New Jersey and partnered up with Nace (r.i.p) and began pursuing more advanced forms of wildstyle lettering.

From 1996 to today Rime has traveled to and painted in over 17 major U.S. cities, 6 European countries, Japan and Taiwan. In 2005 he founded The Exchange, an elite group of graffiti stylists from North America and Europe. Now based in Los Angeles Rime works closely with The Seventh Letter Crew on art based murals and gallery shows. Rime’s mission is to solidify the idea that graffiti is a viable and innovative art form. With the hint of pop culture’s welcoming back of graffiti art, Rime realizes it is up to the artists that are actually out there putting in work to be responsible for the way the art form pans out in history.
