Fleg has been touring the U.S. for the last 4 years as well as doing many international events in destinations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America. Fleg's Funk, House and Hip Hop mixes are played worldwide and he is constantly digging for new records to feed the bboy community. His first record came out on the Breaking Bread label in 2013 and in October 2014 he co-founded the Forever record label. In addition to his travels, he is actively involved with the event organization in his hometown of Baltimore.
Every month, Fleg and his partner Graham Hatke throw 4 Hours of Funk, a funk night in Baltimore that has attracted guests ranging from Les Twins to John Waters to the city's Mayor, Stephanie Rollings Blake. He's been throwing the party for over 7 years and has also done the party in other cities around the US. In addition, Fleg also organizes local dance nights incorporating all types of music from the diverse city. When he's not Djing, Fleg is producing music or teaching bboy classes to kids. Despite a rigorous tour schedule, he still practices breaking and you can always catch him in a cypher!
