Doze Green is an American artist, musician and one of the original Hip-Hop B-Boys.

 

Early Life and Education

Doze Green was born in New York City in 1964. Growing up in the '70s, his art was inspired by newspaper cartoons like Shoe, Saturday morning cartoons on TV  and Superhero comics.

He began to create his own characters when he was about seven years old. By the time he was twelve he was able to draw sophisticated characters in complete artistic settings. His family encouraged not only his artistic endeavors but also his songwriting.

 

He attended the High School of Art and Design in New York.

The school encouraged artistic expression and even graffiti, which Green did in and around the city. One of his mentors was Donald Joseph White, who signed his graffiti art as DONDI. Green credits DONDI with helping him to create a cleaner, more careful and more sophisticated style than he had been doing before they met.
