Day 1 of the @lewishowes Summit of Greatness was electric! The energy in the room was absolutely unreal, and I’m beyond grateful to be a part of this experience. Huge shoutout to my big brother @ElecSimon for trusting me on these incredible stages. When you do what you love, it never feels like work—it’s truly a blessing 🙏🏽.
Stay tuned for more vibes, and let’s keep this energy going!

Have I ever mentioned how much fun I have when I DJ?!?! Finding these little blends that vibe so well together just feels so good! lol
Here’s a little @tpain & @montelljordan vibe I found!
What you think?!?!?
There’s just something about those moving platters that attract drunks eyes and hands lol

Sometimes things dont quite work how you want them too. Went to record this transition in Serato and didnt relalize i already hit record and ultimately stopped recording lol
My first instinct was to not post this and wait until my next gig to rerecord and post this with the actual audio. But, then i thought to myself. WHO CARES!?!?! Post it anyway! I get so caught up in perfection, i let a lot of opportunities slip away. Not anymore. JUST POST IT!

Life’s too short to stay in one lane 🎶 Whether it’s experimenting with new sounds, picking up a different instrument, or diving into another genre, I’ve learned the magic happens outside our comfort zones.
Never be afraid to venture into new territories and be as well-rounded as possible. Growth comes from trying new things and embracing the unknown. Keep pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons! 🌟

Stepping out of my comfort zone by embracing longer walks, even though I prefer lifting weights. Variety is key to keeping things fresh and becoming a well-rounded person. Balance different activities to achieve your goals. 🌟💪

Long caption, but worth the read!
About a year ago, I stopped producing music because it no longer fulfilled me. Fast forward to last week, during a Zoom call discussing logistics for an upcoming event, I suddenly felt the urge to download Logic Pro again and started working on a new beat.
At the #IgniteYourLife event in Boise, Idaho, I had dinner with some notable speakers, including Tim Grover, the renowned trainer of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade. As people were introducing themselves to him, I was just chilling back to not bombard him. I heard that inner-voice say, “Get up and introduce yourself.” I listened. I introduced myself to him, expressing my admiration and disappointment about missing his speech due to my setup schedule. He reassured me, saying I could stay for a bit and still manage the setup.
During our conversation, Mr. Grover noticed my Jordan 1’s and we bonded over it. The crazy thing is, I was originally going to wear my Blazers, but that voice said wear the J’s. I mentioned I was the DJ for the event and a producer, and he requested I play one of my tracks for his entrance. Excited, I spent the night before show day selecting the perfect beat.
On show day, Mr. Grover encouraged me to let my track rock during his entrance, which turned out to be a monumental moment for me. I hit play and Mr. Ray introduces him and he comes out. You can see in the video he went above and beyond for your boy. His enthusiastic support for my music made me realize the importance of creating music that makes people feel something.
If you listen toward the end he tells the crowd to “Feel it!”. I almost cried! lol That’s all I want my music to do. Be felt! That’s it! I was so excited I completely forgot about being able to stay for the speech. Lol I tore down as we talked about before meeting Mr. Grover. lol I was so high from this moment!
This experience reignited the fire in me to produce music again! Thank you Mr. Grover! 💪
Putting in some work before soundcheck with @elecsimon here in Boise, Idaho! 🏋️♂️🥁 Pushing limits and staying disciplined both on and off the stage. 💪 Remember, every bit of effort counts towards the bigger goal. Keep grinding and stay focused! 🌟

📞 Got a call from my cousin, asking if I wanted to play percussion on Walter Beasley’s new project! 🎶✨ Moments like these remind me of the importance of being well-rounded in your craft. 🎸🥁 God always puts you in the right rooms at the right times. 🙏🏽
Thank you, @walterbeasley , for allowing me to be a part of something like this, and @robert_johnson316 for trusting me to be in that room and perform—because you can’t trust bringing everybody in every room. 💯
Drop a 💪🏾 in the comments if you stay ready!!!

Switching it up keeps things fresh!
With the weather breaking, time to get outside and breathe in the fresh air and get some sunlight! Boost that mood and just overall well-being!
2 mile walk in nature with no music. Just my headphones on with Transparency Mode on. I’m not sure why, but that made me have a super focus on the sounds of nature. It amplified them.

Never take your opportunities for granted! There is ALWAYS someone hungry for that spot and ready to take it!
I think about that all the time! I’m hungry for this! Anytime I’m behind a kit, DJ controller or whatever I’m doing, I’m giving 100%!!!!
If you want my spot, good luck! For those of you that have a spot and you feel comfy, I’m watching!
As creatives, the opportunity to do what we love and make a living doing it is a true blessing. To half-ass it is a slap in the face!
Who else is hungry to get to the next level!?!?
