ABOUT HELLOHIPHOP
Founded in 2018, HelloHipHop has reached over 8,000 children through schools, jams, and community events, working with trusts, charities, councils, and cultural partners all across the UK. At the core of what we do is a belief that children deserve more than endless screen time—they deserve organic creativity, movement, and a chance to develop strength of mind, body and spirit in a meaningful world waiting for them beyond the digital.
Our Aim
HelloHipHops aim is to share the knowledge and creative traditions of Hip Hop culture, focusing on practical methods that build self-worth, lower stress levels and support a better quality of life. We do this through the core creative disciplines of literature, music, art and dance, while encouraging a more mindful, positive and harmonious approach to everyday living.
Meet the founder
Hello my name is Philty — I'm a Bboy/Breaker and the founder of HelloHipHop. I fell in love with Breakin at 17, and Hip Hop has been shaping my mind, body, and spirit ever since. Teaching and sharing that journey is my way of giving back—passing on the culture, the values, and the joy to the next generation. HelloHipHop isn’t just me, though; it’s a collective force that is powered by our community, parents, teachers and, most importantly, the kids. And to see the genuine smiles that naturally radiate from the heart is so rewarding and fuels the energy to do what I do.
One love to Hip Hop.
