ARTM formally "A Rave To Mars" stems from our college interviewing video series that focused on underground artists. Although we are no longer interested in focusing on that medium, the era of A Rave to Mars represents the grind. We hit the pavement hard to contact, research, record, host, and edit interviews with underground artists with help from our amazing team (s/o Julius, Siyaka, Brandon). As the years went on we both desired to get into film. As we’ve embarked on this new journey it only felt right to pay homage to our beginnings with ARTM.

Don’t be afraid to experiment and test your boundaries. I encourage people to step away from the things that you are familiar with every now and then. It’s easy for us to get wrapped up in our normal routines/comfort zones but sometimes you have to expand your vision a bit.

I was born in Brooklyn, raised in the Bronx but designed in Mount Vernon. I've been traveling and networking across the world through out the past 5 years. My favorite place to travel was to Australia, this is because I got to go to a closed off location where there was no man made light. The water was so clear at the beach that it looked like we were walking on the stars at night.

This is always a funny, question because modeling has never been something I wanted to do seriously. It's more just been dropped into my lap. In college I did a few shoots with my friends and I would post those on social media. Then one day my good friend Panda of AnmlHse asked me to model for his clothing line and things just kept coming along!
