La’Darris Boykin; more affectionately known as ‘Quik’, grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. This is where he spent most of his youth writing and found a love for music, particularly hip hop. It was that love for rocking the microphone to tell stories that led him to arts and entertainment. After working with music production and continuing his adventures in Deejaying, Quik has also turned his sights to film as another platform to tell stories.
