Insight: Underdeveloped Love

Selling Point: Love torn.

On Recording for YouTube: I harmonized with myself for the Brian McKnight "Anytime" cover. I set up my camera && reenacted the process of me writing poetry. Can you pinpoint all of my emotions?

Insight: Sleep With Your Dreams

Posted in: 2011


Selling Point: A rush of nostalgia.

On Recording for YouTube: Along with the very much illegal videos of me recording myself while driving down Los Angeles roads... I mixed in a ton of videos from my college years in Charlotte, NC. This lost footage from Charlotte includes cameos from friends who likely didn't even know I was filming. Don't ya know? I'm always camera ready! And... the song is perfection.
