"Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." - William Ernest Henley #blessed #grateful #steadfaster #steadfastermedia #invictus #winning #johnbrooks #O.T. #newalbum #spotify #HipHop #music #bayarea #life #poetry #sony #A7rii #osmo #djiosmo #osmox5

Entertaining the masses is cool but there is truly nothing more rewarding than working on projects that I like to term as “legacy work”, that is, work that is enriching and educational for the culture, work that stands through the tests of time - work that your seeds can look at years from now and proudly say, “my Daddy did that”. . . . #blessed #grateful #steadfastermedia #novaghost #johnbrooks #jimmybrown #saytheirname #bts #sfmlux #color #art #camera #creative #boutique #bayarea #california #love #joy #legacy #goodpeopledogoodthings https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcqKseOV3n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the greatest and most ignored investments that you will make as a digital artist is hard drives. In that same breath, one of the greatest days in your life as a digital artist is when you recover files from a corrupted hard drive. This song by @novaghost2.0 is such a gem that speaks to current affairs and I’m glad this behind the scene footage was saved! . . . #blessed #grateful #steadfastermedia #novaghost #johnbrooks #jimmybrown #saytheirname #bts #sfmlux #color #art #camera #creative #boutique #bayarea #california #love #joy #goodpeopledogoodthings https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqco91xOrfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There is a wonderful shift in artistry that happens when a heightened sense of responsibility is merged with pure craftsmanship. The new album, “Good Things” by @officialjohnbrooks is seasoned with stories about legacy, family, and remedying community issues. Excellence. Always. . . . #blessed #grateful #steadfastermedia #johnbrooks #goodthings #newalbum #newmusic #creativeboutique #photography #videography #sony #sfmlux #luts #colorgrade #color #art #camera #creative #boutique #bayarea #california #love #joy https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJOZb-Le1Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This song is such a great mash up of poetic vibes. 🎼❤️ Fun fact: My creative journey started in poetry. I wrote my first poem, “Mommy Is”at age nine. By the time I was age 12 and attending primary school in Cameroon, West Africa I was a bonafide entrepreneur, writing love letters for school mates to help them pursue their puppy loves.❤️😂 Word around campus was “Michael has great handwriting and a way with words”. Often times classmates thought I bought lunch frequently because my Mom was sending “those American dollars”, but no, I just hustled lol. Not much has changed today.🙂 You can stream “Hue” by @officialjohnbrooks on your favorite platform today.❤️😃 . . . #blessed #grateful #steadfastermedia #hue #johnbrooks #jvoice #tembu #creativeboutique #photography #videography #sony #4k #sfmlux #luts #colorgrade #color #art #camera #creative #boutique #bayarea #california #love #joy https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ95RMLvS4a/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you live in the truth of the art everything falls into to place easily. My mind’s eye saw the cover art for this project before the song was even done. Super grateful for this woman who has always come through and showed out EVERY TIME we’ve worked together. Professional, punctual and easy going, a perfect recipe for perfection.

I remember when @officialjohnbrooks and I first started talking about this song. He came to me and said, “bro, I have an idea” (it always starts like that lol). He played the music for his new song “Hue” and began singing the idea for the chorus he had in mind. Almost instantly, I started penning (at least in my mind) the multitude of ideas that came flowing in; I mean the music is so good it is literally edible. The song was already awesome before any of us recorded our vocals for it but a new level of creativity and inspiration was sparked after receiving vocals from @officialjvoice510. My goodness, a new level indeed! (And he said it was just a “little something-something”, sheesh!) The point of this story is to remember to share time and space with people that uplift you and (kindly) nudge you into your greatness. Be thankful for great teammates! You can stream “Hue” by @officialjohnbrooks on any of your favorite streaming platforms. ❤️🎼 . . . #blessed #grateful #steadfastermedia #hue #johnbrooks #jvoice #tembu #creativeboutique #photography #videography #sony #4k #sfmlux #luts #colorgrade #color #art #camera #creative #boutique #bayarea #california #love #joy https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ900zjpedQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
