Art is the process of archiving historical accounts and looking into the myriad of possibilities of all that could be.

My favorite type of art to create is immersive, story-driven worldbuilding that blends mythology, music, and brand design into living experiences. “Mythic Multimedia Worlds” — where a story becomes a song, a song becomes a brand, and the brand becomes a living experience people can feel, see, and participate in. That’s where everything you build carries depth, identity, and meaning—not just aesthetics.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from current events, people I meet and communities I travel to.
What would you do with $25,000?Use the money to setup accounts to create music videos and viral TikTok/Instagram reels under these brand esthetics, becoming a songwriter/producer, creating the work from behind the scenes in collaboration with other artists. I prefer to work behind the scenes, not in front of the camera, to share other artists' stories and work.
