Loss taught me more than any W ever did.🚨
Graduated in 2015. Moved back to California. Jumped straight into the music industry doing free work, not because I had to, but because that’s just how you earn your place.
When the checks weren’t coming, I didn’t wait. I built my own lane.
Phone repair. 3 locations. Ventures with friends on the side.
Then COVID hit.
Stores closed. Everything else started falling apart.
And right in the middle of all of it, I had just gotten married, my wife was pregnant, and we had just moved.
Loss after loss. With real responsibility on my shoulders for the first time.
But I didn’t stop.
I pivoted into printing, working with brands and businesses, while building my own merch line at the same time. A 2-in-1. Always loved custom clothes. When people started wanting to wear my logo, I learned to print it myself so I could move on my own time.
And the music? I’ve been making it since I was a kid.
Never wanted to be “the artist.” I just love it.
This isn’t something new.
This is everything I’ve been building, finally coming together.

Photos from the Pan African Film Festival for my brother @bp.edwards directorial debut @whentheskyturnedorange . Honored to be part of this documentary and to contribute to our city’s story.
They had me up there crying like a baby, not even gonna lie. I remember the conversation me and my brother had about moving back home and going all in on videography full time. From videographer, to director of photography, to full director. He made it happen.
That’s how you put the city on the map! Beyond proud of you. Love you.
Altadena will rise 🌹
So thankful for the guidance, belief, and mentorship. A lot to process, but nothing but love and gratitude always. A time was had with the fellas!
