"[citation needed]David Bernal first became known through a 2001 video with him dancing in a competition with Mike Song of the Kinjaz at Kollaboration, an Asian-American talent show.
The clip showcased Bernal's characteristic contemporary dance style of popping[citation needed] and abstract waving.

Gene Kelly's head was superimposed onto Bernal's body in a re-enactment of "Singin' in the Rain" remixed by Manchester group Mint Royale.
