Film – Cleveland

I grew up on the East side of Cleveland Ohio. As a child I was obsessed with drawing and making home movies. I spent most my teenage years breakdancing or DJing night clubs and got into music production while in college under the stage name, \"The KickDrums.\" After ten years producing for artists (50 Cent, Kid Cudi, RZA, Linkin Park and others) I moved back to Ohio from New York, and began working full time as creative director at LiveMixtapes.com. I had an epiphany on my birthday that led me back to my childhood passion of art and film. I\'ve developed a technique and style that incorporates my entire life experience into a focused effort. The end result is a reflection of my subconscious and never ceases to surprise me with new insight on who I am and why I\'m here. I hope everyone can find that divine creativity within themselves, befriend it, and let it teach you something.
