Vienna, Austria
Born in the Caribbean paradise of St. Lucia, in the tiny village of Choiseul, Halim Lionel grew up with island roots and sounds. By his 5th birthday, his Mother was posted to Austria to begin a career at the UN in Vienna, so he found himself heading to a new life in Europe.
Later, years after growing up in Vienna and a 2nd language German under his belt, a permanent injury forced him to leave a promising career as an emerging young professional footballer. The news being a major let down, Halim decided to take off for New York to hang out with his DJ cousin for a stint, and after 1 dose of watching his cousin rock the crowd on the 1's and 2's at a dancehall block party in Brooklyn, he gave it a try and then had the revelation and passion that would change the course of his life forever.
