New pack 1 of 2: ap as a dj
(tl;dr: book me for your next event and share this post!)

Lately, music is all around me, and the people connecting with me through music are sharing some unforgettable moments — birthdays, live shows, pop-ups, weddings. Whatever we imagine, believe I’m pulling up ready to contribute to the vibes ✨ Every time I dive into the sound, we find new ways to communicate.

A friend asked how often I’m listening to music now… I can’t remember the last time I stopped. These past few years in New York have been a deep study on how many ways I can sit with sounds, and the city shares a band of rhythms, textures, and voices in constant rotation. Doesn’t matter if I’m preparing for a party mix, talking to a newly engaged couple, or teaching a rising musician, the music 👏🏾 don’t 👏🏾 stop 👏🏾!!!

Even being able to share this new era so publicly has been unexpected. From my brother teaching me the basics until I could buy my own decks to receiving my first sound system as a gift so we could host more events; then, hosting those events with the lovely artists, collectives, coordinators, DJs, producers, vendors, venue owners, and community we’ve been rocking with for years. Thank you to everyone who’s seen and supported my growth!

My support as a curator, DJ, and/or educator are available for your next big moment. It all starts with a conversation when you email booking[at]nostomach.co

Cheers to a lifetime of liberation in practice.

On a rainy Saturday night at studio Processa in Ridgewood, we gathered for a sit down conversation with young conceptual artist Emmanuel Massillon. To be honest, I feel like there still so much more to unpack from this conversation. I don’t take the task of documenting the greatest Black and Brown artists of our time lightly. We put our blood sweat and tears into our work and it’s only right to shine light on all that we do. In 2023, I had the pleasure of showing Emmanuel’s works alongside legends David Hammons and Arthur Jafa in my co-curated exhibition “Not For Sale” at NXTHVN. This conversation was a full circle moment. Thank you Emmanuel for being a part of this and thank you to the community that came through to the studio to see this talk live.
