About Me

I'm a rapper, music producer, DJ, graphic designer, and more. I'm originally from the US, but I currently live in Shenzhen, China. I'm into anything that involves the visual and performing arts and I like connecting with people while traveling, whether for work or for leisure. It's always cool to hear someone else's story so definitely, let's definitely connect.
