Speak No Evil, a new original music video created especially for wats:ON 2019: NOW. The video was created and produced through a collaboration of festival artists Jasiri X and Blak Rapp MADUSA and Carnegie Mellon students enrolled in the wats:ON Festival CFA Interdisciplinary course.

I acted as choreographer, site locator, and reviewed edits by video editors
Speak No Evil

For the final project, I will analyze my own personal Spotify data, particularly self-curated playlists, from 2019 thus far to formulate a tailored guide that will represent new musical selections for consumption in the upcoming year 2020. Besides perusing my own data, I am interested in comparing myself versus the “average” U.S. individual, in terms of each group’s musical prospects for 2020. I was spurred to tackle this project due to skepticism on Spotify’s “Discover” playlists, which seems inconsistent and/or lacks satisfaction. In the Digital Age of the 21st Century, we have permitted computers and algorithms to dictate choice, therefore, I am looking to present a chance to customize musical journeys that align with individuals’ specific musical tastes. Basically, implementing step-by-step instructions to carry self-analysis. Many Americans, no the world, listen to music on the daily, so why not have the best music that fits you?
