2021 was certainly a breakout year for Derry's Dee Collins. An absolute slew of ridiculous instagram content kept him at the forefront of everyone's minds from the get go. In April, he scored himself the cover of Issue 2, before going on to hammer out a full interview six months later for Issue 4. Along the way, it was also announce that Dee had joined the ranks of The National Skateboard Co, whilst he was also given the responsibility of closing down the Belfast's Sole.lo Store's first production, RISE.
That's a lot of boxes for anyone to tick off in a single 12 month period. With that in mind, we caught up with Dee to find out what he made of the productive year that just was. Read on to find out more...
