Josiah Grant

Josiah "Badazz" Grant began his acrobatic and dancing career at the young age of ten. Growing up, he never had a sport that he dedicated his time to, but always enjoyed taking classes to hone his skills in gymnastics, hip hop dancing, contortion, Jamaican dance-hall, belly dancing, and martial arts. By the time Josiah reached the age of seventeen, he was already looking for the next level in his artistic career. While at gymnastics, one day he miraculously found his talents all meshing together while joking around on a slanted pole in the gym. After this short brush with destiny, he began investing numerous hours of time & money into training himself to becoming the phenomenal acrobatic pole dancer that he has become today. From his bedroom in Reseda, California, he started creating videos of his pole art and began to upload them to YouTube, where he became well known in the Pole dancing community. On his third month of creating videos, Grant instantaneously discovered his alter ego "Bad Azz", and has been performing all over the United States displaying his art at several night clubs, and most recently appeared on the " Jerry Springer Show" as a special pole dancing performer. With his ever growing fame and skill, Bad Azz is, and will go down in history as the most skilled, unique, and artistic male pole dancer in the world.
