Zeky was born in 1975. He lives in Montreuil. He has always drawn, went to goblin school. He started graffiti at the end of the 80s. He joined the OC (Outlaw crew) at the beginning of the 90s. He has since been part of the MCZ collective (Montreuil City Zulu) as well as the VBA (Vaughn Bodé Addict) founded by Orus, since their creation at the end of the 90s. During more than 20 years of diurnal and nocturnal graffiti activities, he acquired an undeniable technical mastery, but above all he imposed a spontaneous and rich style, imposing himself to retouch his pieces as little as possible. Its evolution is a constant questioning. Inspired by his New York elders, his style constantly varies according to his inspirations. In his beginnings gifted for the characters, he knew very quickly to impose himself for his inseparable lettering of his tags. Thus, he constantly evolves in the different ways of practicing graffiti: tags, throw-ups, chromes and burns.
