    MY DANCING IS OUT U ALL ,,JST LOOK ON MY PAGE,,(DANCE VIDEO ) IT'S OUT IT'S OUT,,,,,,Seldom does a musical and dancing phenomenon emerge simultaneously and both embodied in one person. Although rare, one has identified himself and is known among family, friends and fans as StickMan, VI Stickman. Born and raised on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, StickMan's future success was cultivated by the unique style of his father's dancing, the rhythm of Calypso, Soca, Latin, and Reggae music and other influences of his Caribbean culture. He would eventually blend those parts together and create a spectacle no one has ever witnessed or could attempt imitate. However, the path was not always clear; low visibility and an 85% chance of rain would be a more accurate description of his child and young adulthood. Plagued with living the life of a "bad boy", Stickman was frequently in and out of trouble and his running mates could drunk one day during carnival where he eventually found himself dancing on stage. Although being a little tipsy and disoriented, everyone was mesmerized with his performance. It wasn't too much later that he met the girl that would soon become his wife and would help him put the idea of performing into perspective. He started to perform for local shows and events impressing everyone only further complicate things. Ironically, it would be their influence that would get him with his distinctive "stick and tick" moves as word of his talent soon reached a local TV station on the island. Although nothing fruitful ever developed with the station, there was a new dance that became an epidemic among high school students, code named "Doing The StickMan". Deciding to take a break from performing for a while, StickMan submerged himself in the realities of what was his life and continued getting trouble with his companions. As fate would have it, the adrenaline that once roared through his veins as a result of living the fast life had lost its luster and could never become what it once was for the Stick after experiencing life in the spot light. A change had to be made; movements needed to take place. However, leaving would be easier said than done as it often times is when one tries to leave such a lifestyle for something different, a new way of life. As a result of his decision to leave his past be just that, VI StickMan was mercilessly shot five times. But with a strong will to live, he survived that ordeal, regained to ability to move about freely and left the Virgin Islands in 1998 with his wife to begin a new life in Tampa, FL. For 7 years, he resided and worked in Tampa, painting houses and washing cars to make a living. It was then that he also gained the name "Two Buckets" because two buckets of water and a rag was all he needed to detail any vehicle that came his way. It wasn't all cherry blossoms as things at home weren't as expected; StickMan and his wife would end their relationship and mutually go their separate ways. But he would later meet a special young lady who would become his girl and give birth to his second child. It wasn't all work and no play, StickMan was back on the grind, looking for a direction to take his unique dancing style. His brother was already in the business and getting ready to cut an album when they met up in Tampa. His brother introduced his current manager who took a special interest in StickMan as well and told him if he could sing as well as he could dance, there would be no venue he couldn't fill. That was enough, nothing more needed to be said as StickMan quickly began to devise what would soon become his trademark style, a unique blend of Hip Hop and Reggae, combining the best of both worlds. After finding out Ft. Pierce was doing great things with music, StickMan made another move with his young family to the Florida's east coast and linked up with the creative people of TrackSet Studios..Bannana boat studio While there he chiseled and crafted his talent and quickly cut his first single, "Soldier;, a captivating mix of Hip Hop and Reggea followed by "Soldier", packed with energy from beginning to end, and finally "Bounce You (Girl)", in a word, spectacular. He's taken these songs to soaring heights performing at shows with the likes of Rick Rross, Lil Wayne, Trina, Maxi Prist, Tony Rebel, Admiral Baley, Frankie Paul, and Pires and has appeared in various nationally distributed magazines such as Urban Magaiznes Ace.;;Ozone; .Magaiznes.. One cannot be sure what the future holds for VI StickMan, but one thing is certain, he is well on his way to shaking the hell out of the music industry. When the smoke clears and the ashes settle, only those with strong roots firmly planted will remain as StickMan leads his crew onward and upward. So look out, he's coming to get you… From young, father was my eye, he had so many foot moves, our culture is calypso, I was a bad boy back in the day, in the streets with a bad crowd, one day I got drunk and went on stage in St. Criox during a festival and I meet a lady during the same time who actually began my wife and from there my dancing career started. I started to dance among the best dancers on the island and the biggest TV show on the island was there and I began to impress everyone with my unique tick moves, the crowd went on sick with my performance. The channel 8 ppl came to me and told me that they could blow me up and that they had so many ideas of how to do it. But I never followed up with them. After a month I was taking my wife to school and the 12 11, 10, 9 .graders was doing the a sick dance called doing the stick man. I continue my rough da,ys, ,I stop dance for a while, deciding to leave the rough life wasn't easy and I ended up getting shot 5 times in the process and in 1998 my wife and I decided to move to the united states in Tampa and started working for my self by washing cars, they used to call me two buckets because that was all I needed to wash a car, I also started painting various ppl houses as my customer base grew. The decision to move up here was so that I could focus on performing and basically start life a new, away from all the drama back home. I stayed there for 7 years. After that time, I left my wife, and I meet another girl who ended up having my baby. I met my brother's manager while my bro was cutting his albulm, I started to dance, and the manager was wowed, he said he wished I could sing and dance, I said yeah. From that day I decided to ad music to my array and did it there for a month or two before moving to Ft. Pierce. I used to sing and dance for family and friends in their homes, on the streets or basically anywhere ppl would stop and look. After moving to ft. pierce, I meet up with some studio guys and began to take thing more seriously, that studio was Bannana Boat . I complete my firsty single with them mixing a hip hop with reggae with a unique twist, creating a interestly different style of music. I can dance and took things from salsa, merengue, bachatcha, regeea, calypso, hip hop, and break dancing, mixing and blending those styles creating a new style. From there I started to do shows with various ppl, rick ross, lil wayne, trina, maxi prist, tony rebel, admiral baley, Frankie paul, and sang with pires, and various other show in the ft. pierce area. I've appeared in various magazine nationwide, ace, ozone.ALSO on NEW PIERS VEDIO just came out OCTOBER . My inspiration, james brown, I like the way he dances. I couldn't compare myself to anyone in the industry, my style is uniquely unique, rivals that of MJ, and Elvis. the fullest, I would like to work with universal records because they're most compatible with my style and has the ability to promote me effectively. If I could collaborate with ppl, I would like to work with alisha keys, 50cent, mary j, eve, shakira I would bite her fat pussy, gwen stefanie, tim mcgraw, shinia twain, Elton john, nickel back, green day. If I could pick producers, they would be dre most definitely. If I make it big, I will be a role model to the younger generation, I wanna help our ppl to elevate themselves, and open various businesses for ppl with felonies to work and make an executive salary to help out their families and show ppl that they can contribute to society. P.s.. Police had hits on me and my brother.E, C .T my life bacicly hell from streets living try to survive NOW HERE I COME AMERICA...;;.;;;;;.....;'. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....travel layout.... @ ......HOT..FreeLayouts.com.... .......... ..HotFreeLayouts.. ..
