Can you tell us more about your magazine ‘Prorider’
Prorider is a magazine which speaks about certain styles of cars like dub, lowrider and custom and about the lifestyle which belong to it You have a clothing range out that looks pretty damn cool.

What is the inspiration behind the designs?
I find my inspiration being with my friends every day, or by meeting new people around the globe, especially in the US where car, FMX, skate scenes or the music and the multicultural life are for the synonym of brainstorming

What are your music influences?
My musical influences are especially new metal, punk rock, west coast rap. According to my moods or the vehicle I drive, I can listen to Suicidal Tendencies, Korn, Social Distortion, Deftones, or gangsta rap like Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, NWA, South Central Cartel…. I’m also strongly influenced by Chicano-Latino rap like Traua, Deliquent Habits, Spanky Loco…. But more often by Cyprus Hill and the Soul Assassins family which gathers all of these tendencies

We enjoyed meeting up with you in LA (thanks for lending us your car by the way) Have you moved to LA for good?
Its now 10 years that I travel all California. I’m still living in Belgium but spend 5 to 6 months of the year in LA, where I’ve got good friends and where I’m working

Do you prefer France or the States in terms of fashion and car culture?
Look at my face… look at my ride… what do ya think!?!

On that note, what do you think about the UK?
I think that English got some more craziness than the French, which gives you more style in fashion and car. You’re always in front of the scene in Europe

Do you think the Prorider style of Lowriders and custom cars is going to become more popular in Europe and could it outgrow the current trend for tuning and styling?
This style is for sure a new start in car modification, which brings a new modification in Europe for people who like to drive cars, who don’t look like everyday commuters… that style will definitely evolve. Look in the media! But you will also find that European tuning is still strongly present and will not disappear soon

What would be your dream car?
I would say a 66 Chevy Nova Coupe Pro Street for the drag strip. My ‘ex’ 61 black Lincoln to go to the beach and a 62 Chevy Impala with hydraulics for cruising at night on Sunset Boulevard with my homies!

You have featured many French stars in your magazine. Who would you like to see on the cover next?
We already had some French stars like movie actors or rappers that appeared on the cover. We are working hard to get some US celebrities like the Game, Good Charlotte, Korn or Carey Hart (The FMX rider)

Who are your hero’s?
Elvis and Richie Warren!!!

What do you do to relax?
Start my mothafuckin black 61 Lincoln and take a cool ride in the middle of the Mohave dessert with a lovely Fuel Girl!
