Back in 2009, Phil Wizard saw the Now or Never (N.O.N.) crew performing street shows in downtown Vancouver and was inspired by what he had seen. Completely mesmerized, Phil went home and started searching for breaking videos on YouTube — and that’s all he needed to form the passion and dedication that has taken him on a journey to become a world-renowned B-Boy.

Born to Korean parents in Toronto, Canada, Phil Wizard now lives on the West Coast in Vancouver. The N.O.N. crew became Phil’s first breaking teachers, but he also went on the learn a lot from B-Boys JBugz and Reflex as well as the Soul Felons crew. But some of Phil’s biggest motivation came directly from searching for breaking footage on YouTube, exposing him to the likes of Hong 10, Wing, Victor, and Issei.
