SNATCH is a well-known graffiti artist from London, and a member of the legendary PFB crew.

He is also part of The Others, alongside Zaki Dee and Epod. He started writing graffiti in the mid 80's, and over the years his unique styles and versatility have influenced many writers throughout the country.

Parallel to his graffiti, he's also had an extensive and successful career as a DJ and producer - but that's another story...

Zaki, born and raised in London, began writing graffiti in 1982 and founded The Trailblazers (TB’s) in 1983. Initially working alone across West London, he was soon joined by other artists including Eskimo, Zerox, Mode II, Scribla, and Artful Dodger. In 1985, he co-founded The Chrome Angelz (TCA), a crew that became central to the UK hip-hop graffiti scene, producing iconic works in Covent Garden and even painting in Paris. Their influence was cemented when they were featured in the influential 1987 book Spraycan Art.

By the late 1980s, Zaki shifted toward music, becoming a DJ and producer in the emerging UK house scene while working at key record shops in London. Alongside Rob Mello, he released well-regarded records as Disco Elements and later co-founded the label Luxury Service Records. In recent years, Zaki has returned to visual art, painting graffiti around London, forming a new crew called The Others, and creating oil self-portraits exhibited in Soho in 2012.
