PLAYLIST
Music has always been part of who I am. As a kid, I was the person you came to for cassette tapes of all the new music. Once streaming came into play, I continued the tradition. I love to share my musical tastes with the rest of the world, in the form of curated playlists.
MIXES
What started assharing songs with friends eventually grew into a DJ caree, leading to roles like Music Director at Flowink and later launching my own brand while creating mixes for several respected shows and platforms.
Sample DJ Shows

Low End BlendMonthly show hosted on Keakie.com0:00 / 0:00Welcome to The Low-End Blend, an hour built for when the noise of the day needs to disappear. We're talking lofi beats, hip-hop instrumentals, and experimental loops that hit different when you just need to breathe. No hard edges, no rush — just a carefully crafted mix that slows time down and lets your mind wander. Put the headphones on, dim the lights, and let the low end do what it does. Whether you're winding down or locked in creative mode, this one's got you covered. Press play and drift.

Return of the Boom BapMonthly show hosted on Keakie.com0:00 / 0:00Welcome to The Return of The Boom Bap, where the drums knock, the samples breathe, and the lyrics actually mean something. This is for the ones who know what hip-hop sounded like when it still had dirt on its hands. An hour of classic-style beats, raw lyricism, and the kind of storytelling that made you feel like the music was speaking directly to you. Every episode pays respect to the pioneers who built this culture from the ground up — no shortcuts, no gimmicks. So nod your head, turn it up, and remember why you fell in love with hip-hop in the first place. -
The Retro Map ShowMonthly show hosted on Keakie.com0:00 / 0:00Welcome to The Retro Rap Show, an hour dedicated to the records that started it all. We're going back to the era when boom bap ruled the streets, samples were flipped into art, and every bar had something to say. From the gritty underground to the tracks that crossed over and changed everything, this is a front-to-back celebration of the music that built the culture. The pioneers, the legends, the deep cuts you forgot you loved — it's all here. Sit back, let the classics roll, and remember where hip-hop came from.
Writing
Writing has always been my escape . Since childhood, I’ve filled pages with stories and adventures as a creative outlet. This collection is a sample of writing i've enjoyed creating. These are constantly evolving pieces.. my sandbox for ideas that continue to grow and change.

Excerpt: Veyda Bannerman0:00 / 0:00The dead don't just walk-they hunt, and they've evolved. When a hardened SAS veteran and a lone doomsday prepper cross paths, survival means more than bullets and barricades. The zombies are thinking now, speaking, using tools. The bunker they want to call home is failing, time is running out, and the horde is learning. Nowhere is safe.
-
Excerpt: Meet Nick0:00 / 0:00In the shadowed alleys of San Francisco, ex-Apostate Nicolas Poole walks the line between duty and damnation. When supernatural forces awaken, he's the last line of defense-facing horrors unseen, secrets long buried, and a past that won't die. The war between light and darkness is here. And he's caught in the crossfire.

Excerpt: Mia Porter0:00 / 0:00Lost in time, trapped between realities, and hunted by an unstoppable enemy. Alex Garrett and his crew are the last survivors of a conquered universe. Now, they must rewrite history, forging alliances with alternate versions of their fallen friends to wage war against a force that has already destroyed them countless times before.

I Need to Try LTX Desktop. Here's Why It Has My Attention
Every time a new "AI video tool" drops, my first instinct is eye-roll. I've got a workflow. I don't need another subscription promising to "revolutionize" how I edit. But LTX Desktop is different. It's a full non-linear editor with on-device AI generation — text-to-video, image-to-video, running entirely on your own machine. LTX No cloud fees. No per-render costs. The Retake tool is what really has me curious, regenerating a specific section of a clip without touching anything around it Zen MCP Server sounds like exactly the kind of surgical fix I need mid-edit. XML import from Premiere, Resolve, and Final Cut Aitoolnet means I don't have to abandon my existing setup either. That's the part that makes this worth trying.

My Annual Wrestling Game Holiday: WWE 2K26 Is Here
Every year since 1999, I've blocked out a day on the calendar — no work, no obligations, just me and the latest WWE video game. It's become one of my favorite personal traditions, and after collecting nearly every wrestling title from WWF, WWE, and WCW over the decades, I wasn't about to break the streak.
This year I pre-ordered WWE 2K26 — the $150 bundle — and had it in my hands on March 6th, a full week before the general release. Instant holiday.
Is it a groundbreaking reinvention of the series? Honestly, no. It's a polished, enhanced version of 2K25 rather than a dramatic leap forward. But here's the thing — I don't need a revolution. I need my wrestling game fix, and this delivers exactly that.
The copy is secured. The hours are already being sacrificed. No regrets.

Music
Been quietly making music since the age of nine. It’s been my happy place. Someday I’ll release music on streaming services, but until then I keep everything close to home. Here’s a list of my releases and sample playlists of my work. .
Featured Music
e·the·re·al
Album
A sonic exploration of what happens when human emotion meets machine learning. Born in the digital age but rooted in soul, this project blends hip-hop, neosoul, and lo-fi textures, warm analog tones, and tech-driven experimentation to create something intimate, beautiful, and future-facing. It's creativity with a circuit board-art transmitted straight from heart to hardware.

I Was Starting To Forget About You
Album (Rough Draft)
A late-night drive through memory and mood. Built on boom bap rhythms and wrapped in the warmth of neo-soul, this project drifts between lo-fi textures, dusty hip-hop drums, and smooth jazz fusion melodies. It’s a quiet milestone, the first time the ideas in my head became music through instruments instead of samples. Nostalgic, reflective, and unhurried, it feels like headlights cutting through empty streets while old memories slowly come back into focus.

Remixed Music Xperience, Vol.1
Remix Project
A reinterpretation of the songs that stuck with me. Familiar melodies and vocals are pulled into a new orbit of boom bap rhythms, soulful textures, and hip-hop energy, reshaped through my own musical lens. It’s part tribute, part transformation, blending rap, soul, and pop into something that feels both recognizable and completely reimagined. The originals are still there, but now they move to a different rhythm.
