Winners Benefits
I usually say I entered this industry through the back door.
As a student, I met my now business partner, and we became hyper-local street artists, scaling buildings and turning disused London spaces into something louder, brighter, and impossible to ignore.
One of those walls happened to belong to Dazed & Confused, the leading voice in style, fashion, and youth culture. They loved the audacity, featured us in the magazine, and gave us exhibition space in their studio.
That was the beginning of Vault49.
