Today is Earth Day but unfortunately, it is dying, because we are as well. We’ve lost track.
What if we just used music to save the world? To remember who we really are? To use the different notes of our lives a combine them to make a song?
What message would that send? Surely not the messages we hear today. It’s because everything we know is a construct. Fruitless “Realities” that after while switch up your idea of Dreams and Nightmares.
This is a call, to the HUMAN nature in all of us. If you are watching this, comment where you are from and let’s show them how UNITED we actually are.

So while on tour with @mslaurynhill I called some friends in Sydney to set up a jam and magic ensued! Tons of Musos showed up and packed @marblebarsyd and @lazybonesloungemarrickville for two nights while we shared the joy of music. Then, my tour family joined the stage for a jam that left us all in the clouds (Real ones for that 💯).
No scripts, no practice, just pure conversation through music in real time.
The joy, the appreciation and the smiles were so genuine and rewarding. We shared our culture and they shared theirs. Big thanks to @calvin.orosa@cavante@milliondollarbibi@tinserra@dcd_cabrera@devadrum for the great hospitality and helping us put something epic together.
So now that we’re International 🌎❗️Where should we hit next?

September 2020. You know what was happening around then. I closed the studio (along with every other music space and venue) to follow all of the social distancing guidelines by the city health department. It was like four months straight no rehearsals, no recordings, no jams. Nobody could get together to play music anywhere. Right when the closures were lifted and everything started becoming normal again, @drouse reached out to me to have a jam session at the studio. It was an epic 3 and a half hour jam that I just posted to our YouTube page. Dan started coming to the Boom Room right when we first opened almost 15 years ago. He is an ambassador of music for Philadelphia on stages around the world and has a mission to bring people together and make true human connections through music. Super therapeutic for me that day to sit on drums w you and @shadowchenery
This jam day was the light at the end of the tunnel. #boomroomstudios #phillymusic #phillymusicscene #phillymusicians @garydann
I never told @yamahasynths_official this part.
TWO big secrets almost stopped me from ever becoming a sound designer at all.
This is CONTEXT.
PS stay till the end for a bonus sound I designed, “Star Storm” 🔊💫✨

Feel it. Embrace it. Share it. ✨
Thank you so much to my sis @tanikkacharrae who captured these moments and also is adding her beautiful sound as well.

7.9.2022 | Philly 📍
A summer concert series on the Ben Franklin Parkway. I wasn’t booked but I call a friend to see if they could slide me on. Yup! Called the squad and we just did @thejawn215 , on the Parkway.
This is “Parkway Jawn”
Instead of telling the rest of the story, I’m just gonna let these “Creative-Candid” clips tell it
Check bio for more
Thanks to my insane house band, random people who showed up, and the Philly fam that jumped on stage and did what we do best ✨
Also a BIG S/O to @shutter_speed_steph@eway_productions the father/son duo that shot this whole thing by themselves🔥
Context not Content
This is more than unreleased jams, world travels, and creative concepts. It’s a candid look into the layers most people never get to see. My life’s story, told through my life’s work. I’m grateful for both.
I’m so thankful for the journey and everything it revealed.
Welcome to my world ✨
