I& #39;ve officially been in music as a Graphic Designer for an entire decade. It& #39;s been a long journey, man. Here& #39;s a sincere thread of thank you& #39;s. It takes a village and I& #39;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& #39;ve never come across another mind like yours and I& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39; it with you was so much cooler. It& #39;s incredible to see you in your element. Let& #39;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& #39;s okay. I forgive you lol.

Thank you @haarlemb for being an inspiration, a friend, and an energizer to the people around you. I& #39;ve seen you move shot glasses and I& #39;ve seen you move mountains. I truly believe there& #39;s nothing you can& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;m forever grateful.

Thank you @JustinLaMotte for believing in me time and time again! We& #39;ve done incredible things, had incredible laughs, and our brainstorm sessions are lowkey some of the best I& #39;ve had. I appreciate you.

Thank you to the legendary @iamtheELEPHANTE! We& #39;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& #39;re particular with the art, I understand you& #39;re a visual artist as well so I don& #39;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& #39;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 & #39;Apologies In Advance& #39; 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& #39;t leak don& #39;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& #39;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& #39;ve become more like family to me over the years and I& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s been a wild ride and I wake up everyday excited. I& #39;m grateful.

I love music. I played piano and trumpet for some years. I love art. It& #39;s taken me across the world and back. I& #39;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
