- In the late 2000s, he joined an Indianapolis-based dance crew called Destined 2 Be with whom he won a dance competition organized by the Indiana Black Expo (a nonprofit organization that is responsible for overseeing 2 of the state of Indiana’s largest cultural events – the Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration and the Circle City Classic) for 2 years in succession. The crew earned a perfect score on both occasions – a feat that had never before been achieved at this particular event.

Around the same time, Willdabeast also scored jobs as a choreographer for some TV commercials for Nike, Inc., an American multinational manufacturer of sports apparel, and equipment.
