I've officially been in music as a Graphic Designer for an entire decade. It's been a long journey, man. Here's a sincere thread of thank you's. It takes a village and I'll never say I got here by myself.
Thank you @HennyEQT for giving me my first shot back in 2010. We did incredible things together for the DMV. From local showcases, to concerts, to a local studio to foster talent, to countless album/single covers. We did that.
Thank you @DJBoothEIC for being a wonderful Boss and allowing me to intern remotely while I attended @SCADdotedu in Atlanta full-time. Blazing Cuts forever haha!
Thank you @UncleAndProphet for being present and inspiring me. What you showed us we as youth could achieve through SHHO still inspires me to this day. I've never come across another mind like yours and I'm grateful our paths crossed.
Thank you @TheBaldGod, @jFlei, and @itsBenner @jonathanmaster for welcoming me with open arms when I first moved to NYC. You trusted me with the work and blessed me with friendship. I couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you @iamMICK for answering my cold email when I first moved to NYC. I had listened to many of your mixes growing up in VA and a dream of mine was to design one of the summertime mixtape covers. You gave me that chance and also became a dear friend/mentor. I'm grateful.
Thank you @RevoltTV for my first real 9-5 music corporate job! The individuals I met here I still keep in touch with to this day and are like family to me. I left because you didn't let me go to RMC 2 years in a row. No hard feelings, though lol!
Thank you to @TheKickDrums for being kind and inviting when I was still getting my feet wet in NYC. It was a dream to work with you BUT partying + kickin' it with you was so much cooler. It's incredible to see you in your element. Let's regroup soon, please! (Post COVID)
Thank you to @emiliorojas for being a great musician, a hilarious friend, a great roommate, and putting me on to 1000 classic rock songs. Sometimes you would keep me up until 3am working on single artwork, but that's okay. I forgive you lol.
Thank you @haarlemb for being an inspiration, a friend, and an energizer to the people around you. I've seen you move shot glasses and I've seen you move mountains. I truly believe there's nothing you can't do.
Thank you @illmindPRODUCER for allowing me to work with you on the HUMAN. album artwork. That was my first retail placement ever in life. A moment I'll never forget. Thank you for trusting me with single artwork for the Roseville Music Group collective. What a time that was!
Thank you @iluvlola for inspiring me to dive into Art Direction in music. I remember that evening vividly and you explained so much to me. You taught me to fish and boy did I fish! 30 minutes changed my life. I'm forever grateful.
Thank you @slanginc for believing in me and giving me a chance. At a time in my life when I was more or less lost I knew I had no choice but to shine. I'm forever grateful.
Thank you @JustinLaMotte for believing in me time and time again! We've done incredible things, had incredible laughs, and our brainstorm sessions are lowkey some of the best I've had. I appreciate you.
Thank you to the legendary @iamtheELEPHANTE! We've done some incredible things together and you always granted me space to grow, you were patient, and work aside are chats no matter how short are always hilarious. I appreciate you, bro.
Thank you @DreTheMayor for the time you invested in me. Man, we had a RUN and the 368 logo was one of the best logos of my career. I appreciate you, old man!!
Thank you @KotaTheFriend for trusting me with your vision time and time again! You posses a humbleness that inspires me and although you're particular with the art, I understand you're a visual artist as well so I don't argue too much haha! Appreciate you, bro.
Thank you @JonBellion for allowing me to get my typography skills off time and time again! You're one of the first artists to ever invite me to the studio to hear their album and I hold that close to my Haitian heart. Also, thank you for standing in solidarity with us ✊🏾
Thank you @SylvanLacue for letting me jump on the artwork for 'Apologies In Advance' with @jbenavente_! I was persistent, but it worked haha! Thank you for the exclusive record for my Nike Ad as well. I deleted the file so it won't leak don't worry lol!
Thank you @UncleSego for being a good human. We rarely talk these days, but I appreciate your person as well as your artistry. I hope you're holding up well, superstar!
Thank you @Jimitents for trusting me with the art from time to time and thank you for your presence. You've become more like family to me over the years and I'm extremely grateful for your random ass facetime calls lol
Thank you to the @Audiomack family for allowing me to work with them for all these years as well as design their latest logo. One of the biggest milestones of my life and I'm excited to watch you guys grow and destroy SC 😛
Lastly thank you @AtlanticRecords for giving me a chance and allowing me to flourish as an Art Director. It's been a wild ride and I wake up everyday excited. I'm grateful.
I love music. I played piano and trumpet for some years. I love art. It's taken me across the world and back. I've met incredible people and learned invaluable lessons. Sorry if I missed you in here this shit was getting lengthy. Thank YOU for your support.
10 YEARS DOWN YOU HEARDDDD ME 🗣️🗣️🗣️
