The Jabbawockeez are originally from San Diego. The eight original members are: Phil Tayag, Kevin Brewer, Joseph Larot, Rynan Paguio, Chris Gatdula, Randy Bernal, Ryan Ellis, and Gary Kendell. The four added members are: Ben Chung, Phi Nguyen, Saso Jimenez, and Eddie Gutierrez. The member that passed away was Gary Kendell. Jabbawockeez is the magnificent result of the "3 Musky" and Gary Kendall. The "3 Musky" is what Kevin Brewer, Phil Tayag, and Joseph Larot call themselves within the group. Gary Kendall was known as the "yoda" of the crew. He traveled though north and south California, bringing everyone together. He was the leader, and after he passed away, he became the inspiration for the crew on America's Best Dance Crew.

They made several debuts on the big screen and the small screen. They featured on America's Got Talent in the year of 2007, but unfortunatly did not win. However, their futures made a huge U-turn when they had a chance to appear on America's Best Dance Crew, a dance show developed by MTV. They won the first season, and since then made guest appearances on miTRL, BET Awards 2008, and the Asian Excellence Awards. Not only that, their big screen debut was on Step Up 2: The Streets. Rynan Paguio played a small part in the movie. In the movie, he was in the antagonist's crew called the "410." The full form of the Jabbawockeez, with mask and such, appeared in the movie much later towards the last dance off.
