Throwing it down at the Chevy SXSW Epic Tweetup

Here I go again on my own. I have recently moved on from the group, Lune Noir, and I’ve got some big plans for the future. Word to the homey Boof, we had some great times and made four stellar mixtapes. Over the past couple years he has been working on his new project, Cry Wolf. It is excellent and I am looking forward to seeing great things from him in the future as we both go in different directions.

My music,  my life and my blog are all going in a new direction. After spending more than a year getting involved with Detroit’s social media scene, I realized that I have learned so much but have yet to apply these skills to my own career. That is going to change. After working hard to coordinate the entertainment at the Chevy SXSW Epic Tweetup I realized that I’m good at planning and coordinating events. Using what I learned from the days when I used to throw raves, I am going to be working with The Magic Stick in Detroit, and a handful of Detroit’s social media professionals to keep the momentum going from the Epic Tweetup. I’m very excited about all of the ideas that have been thrown around, and everyone’s support for taking our social media events to the next level.

Those who know me, know I’ve been through a lot over the past five years. I have struggled with drug addiction, financial issues and my weight, among all of the other little problems that life likes to throw at us. I have come a long way, and I am grateful for the support that I’ve received from my family and friends, but it’s time to step it up  a notch.

Most of all, I’m looking forward to Detroit’s future. All of my problems really don’t mean a thing when I think about a city that has had it much worse than I have, for much longer than I’ve been alive. I still remain 100% dedicated to the rebuilding and revitalizing of Detroit. What’s good for Mother Detroit will surely benefit me in the end. I hope you will join the revolution.
