Omar got his B-Boy name ROXRITE through his friend Ground Level in 1996, when he was a member of his first crew, SUB 4. His friend thought that he always danced clean and as perfect as he could which meant, he “rocked right.”

ROXRITE started breaking in 1995. When he was a little kid, he saw his older brother break in Mexico. In 1988, the family moved to the Bay Area in California. When ROXRITE went to junior high school, there were a lot of kids breaking. One day, the older kids did a show and ROXRITE and his friends were deeply impressed. They went home and started practicing immediately. ROXRITE was inspired, he felt it was something challenging that he needed to be a part of. They practiced every day without really knowing what they were doing at that time.

ROXRITE is a strategic battle B-Boy. He takes everything into consideration from footwork to powermoves to freezes. He has different strategies, depending on the situation—defensive or offensive. When he goes first, he immediately attacks in a very strong way so it’s hard for the opponent to respond. His main strategy is simply to do more than the other B-Boy does, in whatever field. The way he dresses is important, too. “You’ve got to respect yourself as an artist and treat yourself that way!”

For ROXRITE being a good B-Boy comes from the heart and foremost means being a good person. As far as skills go, discipline is the tool! Ground Level was his first big inspiration, but Thunder, Remind, and Ken Swift have had a lot of influence on him, too.

ROXRITE saids, “Every year seems to get better and better for me. I live my dream and it’s a blessing. I have judged numerous events around the world and have been teaching more then ever. I am very busy, always on the road. Many things have changed, except for my dance: I still feel driven to improve and come up with new stuff. My plan is to survive living through this art form and push to compete. My goal is to win 100 tournaments and then retire from the battle circuit. I want to be THAT B-Boy – the one who won the most battles.”
