Occupation and Position.
You see, I’m a bit complex. So my day job is doing influencer Marketing for LVMH’s 10 Cane Rum; however, I’m known in DC, NY, Miami and now LA as the Pied Piper , because I bring together like-minded people from different backgrounds into a common social setting. Finally I’m a Big Ideas cat who creates and has created brands and concepts. All in all I’m an “Architect of Pop Culture”

What neighborhood do you closely identify with? What makes it so unique to you?
North West DC!!! A.K.A Uptown. It’s my home town. Growing up in DC in the late 80s molded my personality. Experiencing Go-Go music in it’s hay day, as well a being surrounded by urban legends and hustlers like Rayful Edmonds, gave me a crash course in street smarts. Also at that time DC was home to the mighty Georgetown Hoyas coached by John Thompson with incredible players like Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Morning, which personified the bad boy attitude. During that period DC was more the known for being the Chocolate City than Nations Capital and more associated with Marion Berry than George Bush Senior. Ever since living there I have tried to take a bit of Uptown with me to all of the neighborhoods I move to.

If you could interview one unsung hero, who would it be? Why?
I would interview my mom. She is the reason I am the man I am. She raised me as strong independent woman. Dealing with multiple jobs, rough neighborhoods immigrating from Antigua W.I and dealing with my bad ass.

What are your favorite local nightlife scenes?
