I am working on a - Master's in "Promotion and Video Communication".
I am here to help YOU reach YOUR goals.
This process helps me keep things organized.
1. Email me a request for an Interview. These can be about You and your band, or a song or album or release.
2. Send me a bio and as much info about you as you can muster. Sendthe track or album you want or tell me if you want an in-depth interview.
3. We do a pre-interview so I can get to know you. Fill you in on how I do things and have a little practice run. I will send you a list of standard questions and we may ad-lib a little, too, so be prepared.
4. THEN WE SCHEDULE the Final Interview.
5. We do a VIDEO interview that is recorded. The audio is also published to a radio station, Radioactive Radio who asked me to make a show for them.
6. Please look nice as I am going to be publishing a video version. Please make sure the background looks nice or is blank.
7. Some answer questions quickly and succinctly and some ramble. Some require specific questions, some just need to be guided. I want to be prepared for either.

Rytious is a hip hop artist in South Africa. He and I have talked about the issues in South Africa post apartied (if that exists). Does racism ever go away? I got a wild hair and took a few of his songs and some beautiful and shocking images from Africa and The South African Struggle and tried to create a message of hope. It is not perfect, it was my first attempt to tell a story with images. I topped it off by including his hard-hitting Video, "Salute".
I love making videos, I have two others in my "Occult Education Series" I am converting to professional narration as in my " Introduction to The Bio Psycho Social Model of Mental Illness", which actually heals the mind rather than masking symptoms with harmful drugs.
I had a brain injury, which is NOT a mental illness (schizophrenia is a mental Illness) Anxiety and Depression (What Psychiatry calls Bipolar Disorder) are natural reactions to a society that bombards us with negativity, fear, and edited soundbites that make life seem hopeless at times.
The TRUTH IS, mental health is a matter of YOUR thinking and what YOU focus on, and what YOU do to promote a healthy attitude (The Basis of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) That has been used by Native American Healers for Centuries as Hyapatia Lee (Formally Trained Native Healer) talks about here and the concept of "Wheels of Life" or what you might think of as "Medicine Wheels". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFV4AMtQKXk&t=224s
These drugs should NEVER have been prescribed for me or MILLIONS of others. I explain why in an informative video I made that is at the bottom of this page.
The Medical Model of Mental Illness Dominates the Mental Health Community backed by the Billions spent marketing DRUGS as a miracle cure-all. However, there is also a Bio Psycho Social Model of anxiety and depression that heals rather than masking symptoms while causing a whole host of other issues like Akathisia, Tardive Dyskinesia, Diabetes and other metabolic disorders, Psychosis, Suicidal Ideations, And even Death. More people die every year from overdosing on Psychiatric Medications than from Heroin.

(Disclaimer) - These drugs are not only harmful to the brain - THEY CAUSE DEPENDENCE - There are side effects to going off them. This is a great video to help you explore all aspects of medications and life after medication-

Dar Ra is one of the most socially conscious, truly spiritual men I know who is trying to promote his ideas through his music. We were talking one night about the Black Lives Matter protests and racism and how the media used edited clips of life that give a distorted view of reality. People all over the world think The United States is populated by irrational people who want to topple the foundations of society and try to supplant what we have with some kind od Social Utopia governed by the concept that Human Rights should guide political and economic policy. We made a much more realistic video to prove the violent soundbites you see and the reality of every day life. We used his song, THE BEAT in contrast with images of people getting along all over Atlanta, GA where I fillmed it.
