Born in Washington, DC and raised in 8 cities across 2 continents, I was a senior at Harvard by the age of 19. I’ve spent the last seven years producing records for a myriad of artists and releasing 2 award-winning albums of my own. I’m also passionate about technology, philanthropy and social media and I’ve been an invited speaker at schools ranging from the Thurgood Marshall Academy in Harlem to the NYU Stern School of Business.
