This was a major highlight working for the artist hospitality team this weekend at @arcmusicfestival ! I fed @charlottedewittemusic birra tacos and a pina colada out of a pinapple!? She was so kind and is an absolute legend behind the decks! 🪩🎧
@chicago_emc was dope! It was an honor to be able to share the space with so many brilliant talented musicians/producers, and companies at the forefront of the music industry, its technology, and discussing the future of musical art as we know it.
I hope I was able to instill some inspiration into the hearts of the curious minds that showed up for our panel! :D
Cheers, and see you next year! A super special thank you goes out to the hardworking team of passionate people that worked their butts off making this conference possible! ❤️📸🙏
I'm 34 today!?
It's kind of a trip saying that out loud.
In the scale of the universe, our lives are so short. We have to make the most out of our time, or so we're always told by those that came before us. Honestly I find that saying more daunting than inspiring, bahah!?
I've been finding myself drifting off into space lately, and I'm intensely yearning for my roots to keep me grasped to the earth. The only thing I can do is keep busting my ass to fuel this delusional artistic career obsession. 😂
Thanks for helping me bring my dreams to life, I'd be nothing without the people that believe in me. In a universe where humankind is but a blip, my friends make me feel significant and that love helps me push forward towards a brighter future.
I love you guys, and cheers to our futures as friends! Let's share some meals and dance our fucking asses off this year!
See you tomorrow at @chicago_emc 12-10pm at @ramovachicago 🎧🎹📸✨
Come chat with peers, learn some stuff, share some ideas and listen to some jams! I’ll be sharing some things ive learned over the yeas at 6pm in the ELEVATED ACADEMY AT 6pm! The panel is called “shooting content that doesn’t suck” going over the tech, how to use it, along with some ideas on how to keep it authentic to your style!
I’ll also be running around with my camera too so if you want a picture stop me and I’ll gladly snap a couple of you and your friends!
SHOOTING CONTENT THAT DOESN’T SUCK! 📸
I was asked to join the next installation of @chicago_emc at the @ramovachicago on April 11th! I'm going to share some of my experiences as a professional content creator and the equipment I use in the process.
I’ll be speaking on a panel with @alejandraroman555 sharing some secrets of how we like to create content for ourselves and clients.
There will be tons of talented people from across the scene sharing their secrets too! If you’re trying to level up your music, marketing or just chat with other artists, this is the place to do it!
See you there! ✌🏼
The recap video from the insane sold-out night at Cermak Hall with @wearekloud and @xvia99k is finally here! And let me tell you...

I get a lot of messages in my DM’s that start with the same question: “How much do you charge?” 💸
Totally a fair question! But in order for me to give you an accurate number, I need a little context.🧐
In the creative world, we call it scope of work. Every project is different, and pricing is built around what is actually being created. To land on the right number, I look at a simple formula:
Deliverables + Production + Labor + Editing + Licensing = Investment💰
When you reach out, include a brief description of the project, the date, location, creative direction, and the deliverables you are looking for. This also helps me understand the vibe and come up with fresh ideas on how we can achieve high quality results!
The more clarity you share, the faster we can align and get to work.
Let’s build something intentional and crafted with care. 📸🎥👨🎨
Frames from a gorgeous shoot at @esme_chicago for @suntoryglobalspirits
In an arctic urban wasteland filled with unrelenting psychological warfare, we are expected to continue on about our daily lives. Grinding towards an inevitable end. Who will you align with, what will give you purpose and how will we come together to fight back against the inhumane overlords?
Art, music, food, friends, and connection will carry us through this. It’s important not to lose sight of our goals as a collective. We must continue to yearn for deeper understanding of the universe through art, science and love.
A confluence of these core concepts is where I yearn to rest my eyes in contemplation of my own existence. A yearning to find a purpose amongst the chaos.
