For what it’s value, the breaking neighborhood has stood behind Gunn. “Breaking is all about originality and bringing one thing new to the desk and representing your nation or area,” head choose Martin Gilian mentioned at a press convention. “That is precisely what Raygun was doing. She bought impressed by her environment, which on this case, for instance, was a kangaroo.”
