Interestingly, Willdabeast’s first love was football. He grew up as a football fan. He played the sport in his hometown when he was very young. Dance was never on his list of career options. However, destiny had other plans, and Willdabeast ended up becoming a world-class choreographer.

Willdabeast had a very humble beginning. Initially, dance was just one of his hobbies. Willdabeast was never serious about making a career in dance, and never attended any dance studio. In 2005, he began considering dance as a serious career option.

In early 2008, Willdabeast joined a dance crew named 'Destined 2 Be.' He was then happy being part of the crew. He mostly performed freestyle dance, as he was not trained in any other form. He was spotted by a renowned dance studio after he performed at a festival. Willdabeast then joined dance classes to learn new forms. However, he struggled a lot to learn a few dance forms, especially ballet and jazz. His major struggle was to match the other students in the studio who were already ahead of him.

Willdabeast eventually became proficient in dance. By the time he turned 18, he decided to become a choreographer. As part of his dance crew, 'Destined 2 Be,' Willdabeast won the prestigious 'Indiana Black Expo' for two consecutive years. He and his group also performed with world-renowned groups and choreographers such as ‘Breaksk8,’ Jason Derulo, LeToya Luckett, Coolio, and Usher. Following this, he participated in 'America’s Got Talent,' which brought him in the limelight. This marked a career breakthrough for Willdabeast. He decided to move to Los Angeles to upgrade his skills. In Los Angeles, he studied at a few top-notch dance studios, such as the ‘Debbie Reynolds Studio,’ the ‘Millennium Dance Complex,’ and the ‘Debbie Allen Dance Academy.’ Willdabeast had a life-changing experience there. He encountered several talented dancers, which boosted his confidence but threw some challenges, too. During his football days, Willdabeast was once badly injured, which eventually became an obstacle in his dance career. Despite that, Willdabeast successfully emerged as a world-class dancer.

In Los Angeles, Willdabeast’s career attained great heights. He worked with a number of renowned choreographers such as Free, Fatima Robinson, Dave Scott, Rosero, Sakinah LeStage, and Shane Sparks.

He continued attending dance conventions such as 'Monsters of Hip Hop' and 'Pulse on Tour.' He was also invited as the guest choreographer on the popular dance show 'So You Think You Can Dance.' Willdabeast has choreographed dance sequences on several TV shows such as 'Glee,' 'American Idol,' and 'America's Best Dance Crew.' Some of his studio competition title honors include 'Mr. Starquest,' 'Mr. Starpower,' 'Footloose,' 'Hall of Fame,' and 'Masquerade.'
