During a brainstorming session for a Guayakí Yerba Mate commercial, my co-director played Thursday by Leven Kali. I loved the track, so I followed Leven on Instagram and got back to work.
The next day, I saw a post from Leven promoting a show at The UC Theatre in Berkeley, CA, near where I live. I messaged him, offering to shoot photos of the show. Leven replied within an hour, saying his photographer was out of town and it was perfect timing! I shot the show, had a blast, and got to know Leven and his team.
After an amazing concert, I packed up and said my goodbyes as I headed off to college. Six months later, our paths crossed again. During that time, I kept up with Leven's projects and offered support to his team whenever I could. Then, that summer, I moved to LA for an internship at Paradigm Talent Agency in Beverly Hills. While interning, I grabbed lunch with our friend Drake and mentioned I'd be at Outside Lands. That conversation sparked a new chapter, and the rest is history.
