Joey Lewing aka DJ Nobunaga

Born in the Netherlands, city Enschede on 19th October 1985.
Joey Lewing a.k.a (Little) Nobunaga raised up with music, that his parents listen to Boogie/Disco/Funk & heard much of Prince, Michael Jackson & James Brown. The whole family has a big collection of Funk, Soul, Jazz & Brazilian music. So the beginning of Nobunaga music roots starts very well.

In 1999 his little brother Rowdy a.k.a. Legove came home and showed Nobunaga some bboy moves. Nobunaga felt in love and that was the point he wanted to do something else, in state of playing soccer. So he quit soccer directly and started bboying all day everyday.

After 2 years there was a new crew comin up called "Rockin Nation" Nobunaga's trainer Maxim Keizer, made a selection of some dancers included his brother Rowdy.
A year later Nobunaga entered the crew, they did some battles & shows.
Nobunaga's dance journey started, in 2002 he won his first 2on2 Dutchbboy Championship

2 years later the crew Rockin Nation split up, and Nobunaga start a new crew "Extraordinary Gentlemen" in 2004 with only four members included him self. In his city there was another crew called "One Of A Kind" with a few dancers.
In 2005 they start to fusion the both crews and they won many battles in Holland under the name One Of A Kind.

In 2007 Nobunaga start again with the crew Extraordinary Gentlemen, they made a lot of noise in the bboy scene till 2012. In that time the crew starts to grow with dancers from different cities and even outside the Netherlands. The first member entered from Israel called Bboy Pickup and the second member that entered came all the way from Japan Bboy Tatchyn.

In 2008 Nobunaga became a member of the famous japanese crew Ichigeki, this crew inspired him since he saw them dancing at Battle Of The Year 2005. When he heard that Ichigeki came to Floorwars (Denmark) in 2008. Nobunaga competed with de crew battle for the 3on3 with his brother Legove and bboy Kido. Ichigeki members watched the battle and they liked it, so the connection was there.
Together they have danced all night and shared there passion of the art they love.
Till that day Nobunaga represent Ichigeki to the fullest!

Back in 2004 Nobunaga DJ carrier starts, a day he will never forget. Nobunaga compete a 1on1 battle and that DJ played, Dr Dre - Still Dre?
After this horrible situation, he tought I can do this better no more bad music in bboy battles. So the next day he called his Uncle Peeano (Oldskool Bboy) and explain him what happened.

Nobunag's uncle brought him to a record store, this was the first time he went to record store and even touched vinyl. So Nobunaga found the record that really liked, bought it and put it in his room in the corner.
That time Nobunaga had no turntable or record player, so the record stood there for 6 months in the corner of his room.

One day his dad told him he had a record player so Nobunaga could listen to that damn record he bought 6 months ago & couldn't remember how its sounds like.

When his dad played the record Nobunaga, danced and knew that this was the time to start collecting records.

After a year buying records, Nobunaga had a nice collection and enough for a playing some hours. One of the first gigs he played was for a Red Bull, because they sponsored OOAK bboy crew. They had to perform and Red Bull needed DJ's for the commercial, so Nobunaga said I can play to!

The DJ's that inspire him are DJ Renegade, DJ Leroy Ray, Gaslampkiller & Hudson Mohawke. Other inspiration are his brothers Legove & Lavern they both making music and have a unique sound.
