King of the West Coast |
|
Enyce Gorgeous Gucci Smith is a multi-talented artist living in Los Angeles, CA. Within the ballroom scene he is known for his voguing, commentating, and his title as “King of the West Coast.” He started walking balls in 2004 at 19 years old, and in 2016 he was deemed Legendary. Vogue is his first love, but he’d rather commentate at balls today. Enyce loves ballroom because it makes you feel like you are a part of something and that you’re wanted. Outside of ballroom, Enyce works as a dancer and music artist. He started dancing professionally in 2003 within the LA area. He has been making music since a young age, but became serious about it in 2014, with his hit “Call Me Crazy,” coming out in 2015. In 2014 he co-founded Beyond the Runway and produced a series of in-depth video interviews with ballroom luminaries along with a series of documentaries exploring the lives and struggles of select ballroom members. As an educator, he is passionate about giving back to the community as a mentor to the youth coming into the scene. Enyce started teaching Vogue classes in 2012. He has been a guest and resident teacher at REACH LA, Movement Lifestyle, Pitzer College, Arizona State University, and in various Middle and High schools. Enyce’s love for his community fuels him to continue his work to uplift and inspire.
