I create because my body is a vessel for song, I’m just the lucky person who gets to share it to the world. Music is me I am music truly

I love to make cinematic music, anything that takes you to a different world. I get a lot of inspiration from my favorite movies and directors, my biggest inspiration for music right now has been the “Shaft” series and 70s Kung-Fu movies. Turning those into modern sonic experiences is my biggest passion.
Where do you find inspiration?Anywhere really, the hustle of life, the pain of love, anything in media that makes me feel something I immediately start writing about it.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d finally be able to create the vision I have in my head. I’ve been singing soul/jazz since I was 17 years old, I’ve always heard symphonies in my head. With this money i’d be able to hire live musicians to create the actual sound I have in my head instead of improvising with the recourses I have, and be able to match the visuals with the world I’m building with my music. I’ve been doing iphone music videos and $100 reels for so long, I know if the audience could see what I see they’d get it.
