Hi Michael, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My process was we as a people don’t own anything . I wanted to be able to provide for my kids kids kids.

I wanted to be able to break a generational curse and also inspire people with my gifts.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I was always in aww about people’s creativity. How people’s mines worked. I fell in love with cinema and Rap bars , so naturally I was glued to the things that those to forms of art brought.

I never knew I would be writing and producing my own material.

My style is different because of how I learned to place my gift in my art.
I have my own flow that people can identify.

2. Soul food spot
3. Venice beach / Santa Monica pier

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
