Early life and career
Born Joshua Osei Bamfo Kissi in the Bronx borough located in New York City to Ghanaian parents Alexander Kissi and Connie Osei migrated to the United States in 1982 from Monrovia, Liberia. As a young multi-talented musician honed his musical skills throughout his youth, but found a love for fashion when he started to frequent the downtown streets of Manhattan and explore online forums. Kissi attended and graduated Mount Vernon High School in Mount Vernon, New York. While only completing two semesters of college with a medical pursuit, he left school in order to pursue a career fusing fashion and art with a potent message.
Kissi is associated with Mos Def, Art Comes First, Adrien Sauvage, and Ouigi Theodore.
Kissi currently resides in the Bedford–Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
