Create and Flow

Nico is a Filipino American Bboy and DJ, representing San Diego, CA. He's been dancing for about 13 years, and he's also an entrepreneur, co-managing  4 different businesses while still only in his mid-twenties.

Curious Asians Create is an interview-based format with high-performing Asian creatives across all disciplines. From the traditional landscape of dancing, drawing, and writing, to the unconventional such as cosplayers and content creators. 
The topics will mainly revolve around psychology, philosophy, routine, self-improvement, and creativity, with the overarching theme centering on the premise that having a creative outlet - whether it’s a vocation or avocation - helps others with depression and anxiety by having them lose their sense of “self”. 
Creativity is a skill set we can all cultivate that enables us to foster a deeper relationship with ourselves, allowing us to be truly irreplaceable human beings. Let's learn from these modern Artists how they do it.
