If you’re reading this, hey heyy! It has been sooo long since I made a blog post on here but I hope to change that in the near future because there is so much exciting things to look forward to!
With the most brief update here are a few highlights from over the years:
2020: COVID – Life changed as we know it. I was able to get clear on a lot of activities and back in touch with nature. Also I was able to analyze the importance of technology and how it will change how we communicate moving forward.
2021: The world started to open back up and I started my career in tech with a music company! #winWin
2022: Experienced new international travels, reconnected with family I hadn’t seen in years, made new connections with local talent in Colorado, and finally found my tribe <3. Underneath the layers, there was a lot of healing from previous connects that I had to learn weren’t supporting this new level of growth I was pursuing but we made it through! #ThankfulForGrowth #ThankfulForProtection #whew
2023: Life is good!! We are outside outside, new international travels were added to the list, we won the NBA championship, I met so many amazingggg artists and that is what has brought me back to blogging. There are so many new artists that deserve to be heard!! Covid really shifted how we interact with music but it is time to bring some new structure to how it reaches ears that would appreciate a fresh vibe. Plus Colorado is a hidden gem of talent so its time they got a bit of spotlight too.

The first day of Spring just started a few days ago and the space I am in life right now is letting go. As I transition into the work force from school, I hope to utilize my skillsets and bring value to any team or company. Im in a new state, time zone, peace of mind, and creative discipline. Moving to Colorado from Georgia has been an eye opening experience and the furthest away from family i’ve ever been in life. I am now “adulting” and living my best life. My communication skills are thru the roof and I can’t stop wanting to learn more. Im dedicated, accountable, and organized. Im excited to be completing a new chapter soon and look forward to creating a future that brings happiness and progress.

A3C is the largest music festival & conference for Hip Hop music and culture. This year’s festivities took place Oct 5-9, 2016 in Atlanta, GA. As soon as you thought it was over they had a follow up family reunion day party with hand picked artists by Three 6 Mafia legend Juicy J. Hosted by Colt 45, it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood filled with networking, art, tastemakers, good music, and positive vibes all around. If you weren’t there, you definitely missed out on a dope event! Here’s a visual recap courtesy of Mahogany Lenz.

Hurricane Matthew came in as probably one of the strongest hurricanes the East Coast has seen in years. Savannah being one of the cities struck was advised to evacuate due to it being below sea level. Of course the plan to evacuate caught majority of its people off guard but nonetheless many migrated to Atlanta with the essentials needed to survive a few days while the storm passed. With my mom’s blessings and our faith that everything was going to be okay, the weekend was spent bonding, producing, exploring and networking in the city!! Only time will tell how we will grow as a collective but as of now you can just call us #HypeLyfeDjs. Heres a recap from our weekend adventures. #WYA

Guyana is often confused with Ghana but they are actually in two separate continents! Guyana, is a fairly small third world country that can be found along the north coast of South America next door to Brazil. Although they do not compete economically to other countries , they are home to a few hidden gems of the world! Kaieteur Falls, the world’s widest single drop waterfall can be found here (yes thats bigger than Niagara Falls), and Guyana is one of the worlds cleanest air countries! Dubbed as the Land of 6 Nations, Guyana’s history holds layers of culture which can be seen heavily influenced through their food, music, and traditions. This past year, a few family members and I had the pleasure to visit to celebrate my Grandfathers’ 95th Birthday! As a first generation American I cherish being able to visit my parents homeland and learn about my family roots. Also since I am a lot older since my last visit from 14 years ago, I was also able to explore the country itself as “tourist”. It can be really easy to become attached to the hip of your technology so for this trip I only carried my 35mm Canon Rebel Film Camera with multiple rolls of color and black and white film. You can see the prints from my Guyanese Travels Here.
