Blacka was born in Brooklyn, New York, on December 16, 1989, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Crown Heights. Growing up in a Caribbean household relates to his earliest memories of learning to dance. In the Caribbean, a common practice for family members is to hold the child’s hands up while teaching them not only how to walk, but also how to whine at the waist. Blacka’s caribbean heritage played an integral role in his early inspiration to dance. He was surrounded by Reggae, Calypso, Soca, and Dancehall music at family and friend gatherings. For Blacka, this connection to his culture has been one of his greatest inspirations of strength and fortitude.
