Years ago, I snapped at a guy after a show. I thought I was standing up for something important—civility, decency, helping each other. But looking back, I see I was trying to control him… instead of owning how hurt I felt. This piece is about that moment. And about a deeper

What if doing the “right thing” is what’s been making you feel so wrong? In my latest piece, I explore the crucial difference between morality and ethics—and why reclaiming your inner compass might be the key to feeling whole again. This isn’t about abandoning values. It’s

At the peak of my DJ career as Kap Slap, I had success, fans, and fame—but internally, I felt disconnected. Choosing intuition over instinct transformed my life, bringing deeper meaning and alignment. If you're quietly wrestling with your own calling, trust it—there’s beauty
