Born
and raised on the North Side of St. Louis Missouri, I graduated Magna Cum Laude
from a full scholarship at the University of Missouri St. Louis, with my BA in
Anthropology. But you're not here for that story...
Over
a decade ago, I was making music with grand ambitions of gaining respect, being
named the best rapper of all time and performing in front of thousands of fans.
This
egoic pursuit caused a lot of suffering. I began to compare myself with other
musicians that were “further along” than I was and this caused much
internal pain.
The
suffering and unhappiness was so much that I stopped making music and decided
that I simply wanted to be happy.
This
is when I began to read ancient and modern texts on spirituality. I became enthralled
in everything from the Baghavad Gita to the Tao te Ching. Through literature and
introspection I realized that “doing” will never make me happy, it is
only in “being” where happiness and peace arises.
I
am grateful for every moment, every unrepeatable miracle, and while I’m here
I want to reach every single heart on the planet to show them that at our core
we are Love, we are free, and we are one. This attitude of service, or disappearing
into my work, is the single most important variable in giving me both internal
and external success.
Because
of this internal pivot, my work has reached the hearts, minds and souls of millions
of people worldwide. By producing creative, inspirational and thought provoking
content, I’ve accumulated over 1 billion views on Facebook alone and even
more on a combination of other platforms including YouTube.
