Johnny Smoke
I first met Johnny Smoke in November 2022, thanks to my good friend and incredibly talented producer, Spencer Nezey. Spencer had just discovered Johnny’s music and immediately thought we should connect. He sent me a link to Johnny’s SoundCloud, and within the first 25 seconds, I knew this was someone I had to collaborate with. The connection was instant, and I was certain that creating music together would be something special.
Fast forward to 2024, and we’ve now completed a full album. We’re thrilled to announce that the first single, “Future Ghost,” will drop on August 22nd, 2024.
Working with Johnny has been an incredible journey. His talent and dedication to his craft are unmatched, and we both prioritize completing songs with authenticity and artistic integrity. Keeping the art true to its core is a standard we constantly uphold.

Music Director:
Meg Myers’ 2023 TZIA’s Arc Tour
In my capacity as the Music Director for Meg Myers' highly anticipated TZIA's ARC tour in 2023, I partnered closely with producer Eric Racy to conceive and construct a state-of-the-art, compact touring system using the advanced QLab software. Our primary objective was to engineer a live performance experience that would empower Meg to take the stage independently, all while preserving the intricate sonic tapestry of her latest album.
Through meticulous planning and close collaboration, we innovatively designed a fully automated platform that grants Meg the ability to initiate her songs, manage guitar inputs and modeler configurations, and seamlessly orchestrate both front of house and in-ear audio mixes with a single on-stage button press. This integrated framework was thoughtfully engineered from the ground up, with a focus on adaptability, ensuring that it can effortlessly accommodate potential augmentations such as lighting, video elements, and the potential inclusion of new band members.
In harmonious alignment with Meg's artistic vision, we personalized the setup to perfectly align with her distinctive creative ethos. We meticulously curated the instrument selection and crafted novel musical segments that accentuate her exceptional strengths as a live performer. Concurrently, we harmoniously integrated playback stems derived from her original tracks, culminating in a live performance encounter that endows Meg with the liberty to profoundly immerse herself in her music and meaningfully connect with her audience.
The comprehensive result is an evolutionary leap forward for Meg's live presentations, of which I take immense pride in my pivotal contribution to its conception and execution.

“THE MONIBA SONG”
BY: Liberia Now
featuring: Swamp Dixon x Jerry Stringer
My good friend and neighbor Casey Vera approached me with a request to help finish a song for his childhood friend, Clarence Moniba, who is currently running for president in Liberia. Casey explained that they needed an anthem to promote the campaign and generate awareness about Clarence’s vision for the country. I was immediately inspired by the opportunity to contribute to a positive change and eagerly agreed to help. Together, we recorded and produced “The Moniba Song.”
In Casey's own words:
Nation Building: @clarencekmoniba We wrote this song, took it to 2 time Grammy Winner @brentpaschke @jerrystringermusic he Produced it, flew in God's Musician @swampdixon1111 to sing it, he brought in the voice of an Angel @trinitymilosek for that female purity. Gave it to @japfroamerican2 for vocal cleaning, gave it to Grammy nominationed @ericjracy for it's finality.
Hit up @nickh_sfv for dirt bikes for the video, he connected us with @tgkx21 & @jessief625 then hit the one and only Drone Technician @ericalegriajuiceman - Directed in the desert, then flew to Liberia, Africa to Direct the rest. We brought in @anitrammartina_ the greatest Liberian singer to perform the female voice of Trinity to give us the visual aesthetics we felt the video needed.
We dedicate this song and video to the people and country of Liberia. There's still time for a Revolution.
