*Heres the long story:
Where do I start with this one...the creative journey's been so divine so far it's something I hold very close to my heart. In 2020, I started collaborating with HXOUSE https://www.hxouse.com/, & it's been one the most rewarding experiences of my life. The amount of knowledge, community, technology and flyness I've been put on to is what I'm forever grateful for. I've designed so much greatness thanks to labs and continuous studio sessions, the elevation is real. As the journey continues let me just say this summer has been one of the most glorious and growing pains feelings within the same season. The amount of times, I've had to only up the faith and trust in myself, God, the eco system, counting on the fact that everything is working towards the highest destiny has been beautiful and insane.
As I'm flying back from spending the week mediating off the grid in the mountains in B.C to Toronto, the main thing on my mind is the finale show tonight. Show 4/4, The Weeknd sells out the skydome back to back, how iconic. I make it home just in time & around 8 p.m., I get the green light from the HXOUSE team that there's a ticket waiting for me at box office. Felt like Charlie and Chocolate Factory golden ticket type sh*t lol. Literally jump outta bed, change clothes and gooo! It's a full moon, I tell my Lyft driver to pedal to the metal and before you know it, I'm in the stadium face to face, floor seats with the stunning set design.
Cool story, my first official t-shirt drop , Digital Dash, featured Sorayama's art because he happens to be one of my favourite artists of all time and is still my desktop background (which is on the tshirt). Back in 2022, I made it to NYC (during the pandemic) to design NFT's for The Weeknd's previous tour. I end up giving Lamar that shirt and we're both like yupppp. Now fast forward to After Hours Til Dawn Tour, I finally get to see Sorayama's statue for the first time thanks to this creative roadmap leading to everyone and everything. Full circle moments, I'm forever inspired. The Weeknd represents so much artistically and beyond so seeing the vision come to life so grandly was cool.
Look at what's possible in this lifetime...make art from the heart, have a team that loves you, and keep going. I'm proud of myself for staying true to myself & the craft too . Okay enough yapping, I took all these pictures off the iPHONE eh, felt like apart of the cosmos with the tiny lights, open sky, CN Tower and of course a performance to cherish. Scarborough to the world.
