I grew up on comic books, hip hop and the streets around me.

Comics taught me that worlds could be imagined beyond what I saw every day.
Hip hop taught me rhythm, voice and survival, how to move through life creatively when the
rules weren’t written for you.

But in the stories I loved, something was missing. I rarely saw my own heritage reflected. My culture. My mythology. The oral histories of my ancestors, passed down through
memory, but rarely written.

That absence stayed with me.
And it shaped the worlds I would later begin to build.

My path began with movement. I started as a professional breakdancer, shaped by street culture, discipline, and expression. Before social media became an industry, I built an independent urban lifestyle platform in the early digital era, creating space for youth culture online.

As urban culture grew nationally, I worked with leading broadcasters to bring it into mainstream media. From there, I moved into directing large-scale festivals and arena productions in hip hop and global dance culture, working with international artists and staging shows in venues like Ahoy Rotterdam and MECC Maastricht.

Working at that scale taught me that vision, rhythm, and responsibility must move together. The scale changed, but the intention stayed the same: shift perception, move culture forward, and redefine the center. That same drive now shapes my cinematic worlds and storytelling.

For me, worldbuilding is not decoration  it is cultural architecture.

My work carries autobiographical elements, lived experience translated into story.

It is also rooted in oral traditions and unwritten histories that have rarely been documented.
Stories passed down through ritual, memory and voice, now given form through myth and
imagination.

This is where HIS STORY OF THE WORLD was born:
a mythological foundation that reimagines global history through Afro-diasporic cosmology.

And where Rise of the Mafu emerged:
a contemporary graphic universe where ancestral power, family and fate collide.

These stories are not escape.
They are restoration.

I create cinematic worlds and original IP across film, novels, music, graphic novels, games, VR, and immersive media. I focus on building long-term storytelling universes that can expand across different platforms and reach global audiences.

I work within the Dutch and European arts & culture sector, focusing on education, co-creation, and supporting emerging creatives. I help develop talent and build stronger cultural infrastructure through collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

I serve as Festival Director of Shared History of the World, an annual global Afrofuturistic conference held in Amsterdam. Each year, it brings together artists, thinkers, and institutions from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the US to explore Afro-diasporic futures and cultural exchange.

I’m open to collaborating with artists, institutions, creators, and cultural platforms that align with worldbuilding, storytelling, and cultural impact. I’m especially interested in projects that connect across disciplines  from film, music, and visual arts to education, events, and immersive media.

My work is built on exchange and co-creation, so I value partnerships where ideas, culture, and vision come together to build something larger than a single project. If there is a shared intention to create meaningful cultural work, that’s where paths can cross.
