Passing Through

"Elevation’s what I deal with Top floor so my soul can breathe When I wake up I’m dreaming Playtime like back in primary Bit nostalgic now I’m feening Fresh Prince, Saved by the Bell's what it might be Or an anime binge for the evening Bebop, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z Don’t know what to call this feeling This lust for life is crazy Ain't nothing wrong with sleeping Better live a gangster life in your dreams Big money ain't where I’m aiming I just want a bone - pass one for me Your imagination's got a ceiling Go buy suicide for dummies." -Walking with the Elephants: Shakka- =========================== Ft.

Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness. - George Bernard Shaw ====================== Ft SILVASTONE @silvastone #silvastone ========================= I am totally inspired by music, it informs everything I do. I feel like life wouldn't be liveable without music... Our heart beat is rhythm, everything about us creates movement to which is rhythm following a natural, internal and universal harmony.

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it. - Albert Camus ======================== Ft @silvastone #silvastonelive #silvastonelevels ========================= On Good Friday @o2islington Silvastone threw it all the way down at his headline show with some dope and extremely talented friends. It is somewhat difficult for an artist to put together a show at such a venue, but they did it and did it with grace and much cultivated skill. Bringing us nothing but pure vibes much dance energy and leaving us in high spirits. It helps to take photographs of artist I personally enjoy listening to and watching. Silvastone is a grafter and every year I see the levels go up, I can't wait to see where the journey takes you sir and I will gladly document it along the way😆😎🙌💯 ======================== #visualstoryteller #sanaaabstraktphotography #visualartist #performingartist #experience #lifeexperiences #writeyourownstory #dopegigs #surroundedbygreatness 🙌 #dancers #singers #rappers #shutdown #londontings #createyourhype #createexperiences #movetoyourbeat #thursdaymotivation #throwbackthursday #tbt (at O2 Academy Islington)

If music be the food of love, play on. William Shakespeare -------------------------------------------- Ft. @novatwinsmusic 🔥 -------------------------------------------- There's levels to this thing called music you know. I think this lot have a double dose of it. Have you ever forgotten to take a photo because your enjoying the gig?👀🙈 photographers?? Lol! I think this just applies to me then. I refuse to wear ear plugs as well. Cos music is good for the soul.... 👌 I always forget I'm there to shoot as well as enjoy the music. The challenge is to capture images that speak 10000000000 words, and capture the true essence of the individuals in their element.

The world's most famous and popular language is music. ~Psy~ Ft Amy (one half of @novatwinsmusic) ------------------------------------- I had the opportunity to shoot these lot whilst on their tour in France. Experiencing them live was the most insanely cool thing ever. They make all the sounds live and have super dope gadgets to aid what felt like an electro trance. The girls have so much charisma on stage, I felt out of place for not knowing the lyrics. We meet after the show and they were mad cool and down to earth, being from South London myself it was just cool to be amongst the south massive in France. Lol! Thank you for sharing and being super awesome. Catch ya'll at the next gig. I promise to have my adlibs on point 😜😎😆💯🙌 Officially a groupie👌🔥

I'm not half the woman Maya was Still I hear the voice of Nina here guiding us We're running out of legends I know they look from the heavens down on me I can't let them down The people that are meant to be protecting us are killing us The people that are meant to be protecting us are killing us Anxiety and adrenaline, I know you feel the rush Do you hear me now? ---------------------------------- Ft. LITTLE SIMZ #spaceage #littlesimz ---------------------------------------- 💙💜💯 the joy of doing what feels right can only be reciprocated by the love and respect emitted by the people. Right

Picture perfect, ain't picture perfect Colours of the images are inverted All for a purpose, I say this shit loud and clear for you all I know you heard it I know you learning ways of this place and you show your concerns And I understand how you feel, but fuck how you feel You can only eat if you hunt and are you willing to kill ------------------------------------ Ft @littlesimz ------------------------------------- A storyteller has the ability to take you on an emotional and an imaginary adventure. Always find it fascinating how an artist can share a personal experience backed with an enchanting drum beat and a massaging melody...capturing your whole essence into a euphoric state where you are totally uplifted by that tune and in complete ore and appreciation🙌🙏 #spaceage
