Just posted my first vlog. Thought it would be cool to start documenting my point of view when prepping for shows since I'm falling deeper into DJing.

music can just be fun bro not everyone has to make something genre bending and ground breaking every time they drop

[Libriscent @libriscent]

The weirdest experience for me is being wildly mistreated & then going somewhere else & everyone respects you

@ChrisCadence_ Oh it was hell for me being black AND Muslim.

[Keara Sullivan @superkeara]

I live in an apartment that I rent. If I wanted to invite a Vampire into my home, would I be able to? Or would he have to go through my landlord, the legal owner, in order to enter?

@damarasol Helping others for free or too often in hopes for a team or a mutual exchange of resources and not putting enough energy into myself first and foremost.

@brianaaniysaa I'll never understand doing a love spell. I just want my money up.

@Big_tagg I lost my dad early and almost lost my mom a few short years later. The feeling of being unwanted with the home shuffle situation is so real. I get jealous of others family dynamics with how they show up. I need to work on it for sure.

God ate with the gift of music, honestly.
