The DJ Tools of the Trade

A few of you have reached out and asked me what equipment I use to DJ. My DJ equipment has evolved over the years. I went from using a simple mixer to turntables. Eventually, I transitioned to a DJ controller that allows me to get creative with the vibes I want. Without further ado, check out the gadgets and gizmos I use during my DJ gigs and practice sessions.

The Animation Haul

A few days ago, I was skimming through my planner and realized that I watched a lot of dope animated shows this year. I love animated series because I get to see how far the creatives in the studio pushed their limits from the art style to the storytelling. If you have been searching for recommendations, here are the series I got to experience this year in no particular order:

A Poetic Evening With Rupi Kaur

Rupi wore a gorgeous red outfit which she happily pointed out to the audience. She made everyone feel welcome and asked how we were doing. Rupi talked about her adventures while on tour and asked to be showered with applause and compliments throughout the show (but no snapping). I loved the energy and candor she brought to the stage. It was as if she was inviting us all into her living room for a cup of tea.

Seeing The World As A Canvas With Street Art

Artists leave a piece of themselves in every mural that you find. Some give back to their communities by painting on school buildings, parks, boardwalks—anything! The world is their canvas. When an artist tags their name on a mural, it is their way of saying “I was here. See my voice”

Gotta Paint Them All: Pokemon

Earlier this year I posted on social media that I was working on a special art project for one of my best friends. Jeff, was going to move into a new apartment and wanted some art for his walls. I asked him if he wanted me to paint something and he quickly said, “Yo, can you paint some Pokemon for me? My three favorites are Charizard, Dragonite, and Gengar.” Challenge accepted!

A Message To The Angel At The Rainbow Bridge

It has been a month since I had to help you cross the rainbow bridge. Letting you go was one of the hardest decisions I had to do in my life. You were giving me your sassy smile the night before you were put to sleep. I know mentally you were hanging in there, but your body couldn’t withstand the damage from cancer anymore. The next morning when you refused to eat—I knew it was over.
