Kash is a dancer, host, filmmaker and co-founder of YAK Films.

He has been traveling the world filming street dance, studying new dance styles and hosting the "Yak Like You Know" show (YLYK) which features new dancers, original styles, fresh music and epic events.

YAK Films is a media crew that covers street dance events worldwide, founded in East Oakland, California in 2008. The original crew met at the Youth UpRising Community Center, where they began working with a local street dance crew called the Turf Feinz. It started when one of their videos commemorating the loss of a dancer's brother went viral online. They then went looking for other street dance styles and events where dancers would battle each other for money, respect and glory. YAK is dedicated to bringing together quality local visuals, up and coming music artists and the best street dance talent to serve a growing global audience.
