Phoenix Guerrero
Phoenix Guerrero (born November 21, 1997) also known as Joy Divizn is a designer, videographer, artist, and influencer in the streetwear scene. He posted his first picture on Instagram in 2015 and since then he has accumulated over 190k followers. He gained traction by being seen handing out with some of the most popular celebrities of this time such as Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, and many more. Phoenix has his own clothing line titled "Vizn" which is where he shows off his creative work and collections of clothing which have been very popular to the point where there are replica factories making copies of his designs.

Early Life
Very little is known about Phoenix's early life, but we know that he grew up in Houston, Texas. He once posted a picture about his mom and brother on his instagram, but other than that, we don't know anything else about his family.

Influence
He has described his style as comfortable because if he feels good wearing his clothes then he is going to look good doing so. Recently, a lot of the youth has taken inspiration from his style which is more gothic and have implemented it into their own sense of fashion. Phoenix has his own clothing line titled "Vizn" which is where he shows off his creative work and collections of clothing which have been very popular to the point where there are replica factories making copies of his designs. His influence and creative mind have been seen in other brands such as "Sicko" where he collaborated with another creative by the name of Ian Conner. The collection was later seen worn by streetwear icon Virgil Abloh.

His Rise
Phoenix moved to Los Angeles with only $100 to his name and a dream. He proved that if you really believe in something, you must pursue it. He really admired Playboi Carti's vision and creative mindset and he eventually messages him and the rest is history. Phoenix would go on tour with him before he started working with him and overtime they got closer. Phoenix is often seen with celebrities who admire his style, but his most popular video is him playing a snippet of an unreleased Playboi Carti song and that drew a lot of attention to him.

Work
Phoenix started working with Carti by getting signed to "Opium" which is his record label and he began designing his most recent merchandise and so being around his is helping him get his work out there.
