How Did You Become Homeless???



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw95Bz-g_TA

How Did It Happen: Homeless // Episode One // In this episode, we met with a homeless man named Sean Stewart. Sean's mother was a victim of rape, which led to her being pregnant with him. His family abused him because he looked just like his father, the rapist. Sean had a tough life and ended up jobless and on drugs, which eventually led to him being homeless in the streets of Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles. Here is Part One of his story. We'll keep Sean in our prayers and we hope that he has found an adequate home and steady income. Hosted by Neo Da Matrix (http://instagram.com/neodamatrix)

Life of Artist Manager: My Newborn Son



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJz9TEu6nxE

(3/31/16) - Here’s footage of my newborn son Taj when he was only two months old. True success in the music and entertainment business is being financially free while finding time to share with your loved ones. When I’m not working, I do my best to find as much time for my family as possible. I work on being a better father every day and my children have been a huge inspiration. I strive to provide all of the things they’ll ever want and need in life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfm2UnGlNHQ

(9/11/15) - My lease was about to expire at my spot in South Park and I was looking for a new place to live/work in the Downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood area. At the time, my neighbor and sound engineer, Kevin (https://www.instagram.com/whoiskw), was also looking for a new studio to work out of. Check out this condo that we looked at in Downtown Los Angeles with an amazing view of the DTLA skyline. This view was definitely a huge change from the view at my South Park place. This penthouse was located in a historic remodeled building and had 2 bedrooms. It was on the market for a little under one million dollars.
