Keyon Christ
Working with Keyon Christ on a variety of initiatives since 2020, providing Business Development (SPORES), Web3, Blockchain, NFT, AI, A&R, and PR services for various endeavors. After observing the “Group Buy” phenomenon explode throughout the late 2010s, Keyon and I pursued a variety of initiatives to sell some of his most sought-after songs alongside prolific artists like Kanye West (“Can U Be”). We initially created a DAO called “LeakDAO” which garnered the attention of artists like 7 Aurelius, which allowed me to work with 7 directly on his LimeWire NFT deal and rollout.
Projects:
• World’s first AI-based Rap song for NVIDIA’s #GTC21, titled “Black Skin Machine” — later sold as one-of-one NFT. Song was created alongside NVIDIA to showcase advancements in AI technologies.• First-ever Quantum Machine Learning songs collectively titled ‘Quantum Genesis’. Made alongside Dadabots AI Music Research Group’s CJ Carr and NASA QuAIL researcher James Sud using Rigetti Quantum Computing.
• “Can U Be/Forever Mitus” one-of-one NFT drop. Sold for roughly $40,000 USD within a minute of posting.
• Accelerated all PR and rollout strategy initiatives, ranging from traditional media platforms (HYPEBEAST, Paper Mag, Dazed, Highsnobiety) to non-traditional marketing/PR methods such as Reddit and Discord AMAs.

JuniorChef
I’ve been working with JuniorChef (the producer behind Asia’s biggest trap hit “IT G MA”) since 2016 on a variety of creative endeavors, including but not limited to, bookings, management, A&R, and creative strategy (including the creation of the now-defunct Korean hip-hop media/bookings platform WHIP.KR). Following Junior’s wishes to leave prolific Korean hip-hop label AOMG in 2020, Junior and I worked extensively for nearly a year to bolster a new beat catalog, which led to Junior’s signing at renowned K-Pop label The Black Label (BLACKPINK).
A&R Projects:
• “Pop Star” (feat. J$tash)• “Tsugi” (feat. Young Coco)
• Young Coco & Jugg Nino “Fendi”
