Lobyn’s vinyl visuals began when a DJ gig gone wrong led to an ankle injury. Upset and frustrated he began to break up his records in his basement. Months later Lobyn came back down to the basement and began using the vinyl artistically. This would later lay the foundation for a full time professional art career.
