Straight out from the Bronx, CrashOne has built an incredible long list of credentials in his graffiti art career to date. Being touted and regarded as a pioneer of graffiti art movement, his works are often seen around from the streets to subways and the NYC trains as early as 1980’s.

One of his most remarkable works is the customization of 3 Eric Claption Signature Stratocaster which was used by Eric Clapton himself on stage and during tour. Not too long after, Fender commissioned CrashOne to design 50 Stratocasters and named the line of guitars, “Crashocastersâ€.
Other notable collaborations include the Stussy x Crash Tokyo Chapter tee which he designed for the Stussy Chapter Tokyo.

Born John Matos, having grown up on 146St. of Brook Avenue is no quiet and peaceful avenue. The community had an unusual mix of robbers, dope dealers, hit men, ex-boxers and devoted Christians but everyone had the same motive, to make ends meet.
Brook Avenue by CrashOne was launched on January 1st 2007. It is a brand which collection design depicts a lot on graffiti.
