Daniel "Cloud" Campos was born in Adel Georgia and raised in San Diego California. He has been b-boying since 1994. He grew up dancing with his two older brothers, Deft-1 and Aron-1. They were known as "Three Brothers Grim". Cloud didn't always see eye-to-eye with his father about dancing. He moved to Orlando Florida when he was twelve and there he met (from the Skill Methodz Crew) Abstrak and Flipz. The bond between them opened a new life for him and they started a crew called bboy connection. Cloud is currently based in North Hollywood, California, LA working on other ventures. Which includes being part of Skill Methodz crew.

He won his first battle when he was just 15; it was called the Blaze battle, hosted by Crazy Legs. This led to his first commercial job, with the clothing line Avirex.

2002: At the age of 19 he was in a band called EXACT.
Profile from their website:
"A break-dancer at heart, Cloud brings many talents to Exact. The ability to freestyle, as well as perform perfect choreography, are just a few of the reasons Exact has brought him into the group.
On stage, Cloud is always moving. His energy and improv-ed moves make the girls swoon, and his break dancing solos keep them screaming till their voices hurt. He loves to show off for the ladies, and has quickly become a crowd favorite.
Off stage, you will find Cloud still dancing. Whether it's at a club with all the ladies, at his job at Univeral, or just around the house, Cloud will dance anywhere he can find an open space. In the rare moments that Cloud isn't dancing, he is making up jokes, rhymes, and crazy stories His sense of humor brings a lot of laughter to the group, and you find it hard not to laugh at him (in a good way!)".
