Background and early life
T Kid's father was an immigrant from Peru, who worked at the Linden Assembly in New Jersey. His mother emigrated from Puerto Rico in the mid 1950s.
Graffiti
He started in the 1970s, tagging the name "King 13" every time he'd win a challenge, performing daredevil tricks on swings in local parks. He was a short lived member of a gang called the Bronx Enchanters and The Renegades of Harlem, where he learned how to paint trains.
He later became the president of TNB (The Nasty Boyz) and ex-president of TVS (The Vamp Squad), one of the most notorious New York graffiti crews. T-KID is still active and his work can be seen in the Bronx as well as around the world. He is also a member of MAC crew from Paris. T-Kid was originally asked to be the narrator for the Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars but he declined.
More recently T-Kid has appeared in the videogame Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.
