You already know we had to get the scoop on how these two met and how they became the creative duo they are today ššæ.
And trust us⦠the backstory is just as good as the work they create together š
As always, you know weāll be back with more!
Your guys,
4DS š¤š¾
Tapped in with @spokenbyt & @chelsi_campbell on all things @ctrlaltbeatt ā from how they met to building the show and bringing the vision to life and what we can expect from the coming in the future!
2025 nudged me out of shrinking what Iām building and into taking the work seriously, even while itās still unfolding.
It reminded me that meaning doesnāt have to be loud to be real,
that growth often happens quietly,
and that permission can be just as powerful as certainty.
To everyone in the Zakilo Bakes community, thank you for giving me the gift of this space to create, to learn, and to keep building.
Getting to bake for you all is truly a dream.
Sharing this journey with you is something I hold with so much gratitude
Sincerely,
Omainaš¤

Monologue - Vol. 056 @ctrlaltbeatt
Born from a love of music, culture, and conversation, I dreamt up a space that was reminiscent of old school media in a digital age. Weāre privileged to be able to have access to people digitally, but something Iāve always longed for was an in-person, community experience for my generation. āCampbell
There are a plethora of platforms and digital spaces that have been curated to support the Emerging Artist. When it came to CTRL, I knew I wanted this to be different. āTisania
As we began to work through the intention of it all ā we knew that this wasnāt going to be a one hit wonder. This was something that had the potential to build into a globally shared experience.
We see more for this show ā not just in terms of timeline, but in terms of impact. CTRL will have people
leaving with things to think about, talk about and feel about. I feel like thatās what this world needs a little bit more of.
