KOLLABORATION!!!

This was without a doubt the craziest weekend of the year! Kollaboration was incredible on Friday! From all the awesome performances to the vibe of the crowd, the night was ridiculous!  Thanks to all the judges Marié Digby, Bobby Choy aka Big Phony, Travis Wong and Shinae Yoon for voting me the Grand Prize Winner! Big props to Roy Choi and PK for the opportunity, as well as the whole Kollaboration staff!   Special shoutout to my awesome bro George for his unparalleled dedication and spreading the word! To Traci and my TNP family, and to the NU crew: i love you guys! And last but certainly not least, thanks to all my friends, fans and supporters for coming out in full force! There was such crazy love up in the Ford Amphitheatre.

FlowEthics doing their thang!

Marié Digby, the headliner and guest judge! She performed originals as well as a cover of Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams.” Awesome.

Ah! Craziness. They announced I won and I thought, “Awesome. This is going to next month’s rent and a new microphone!” lol. (Photo by Alexander Siu)

Roy, Christine and I! This check is now sitting in my room. Can you imagine bringing this thing to the bank?! (Photo by Alexander Siu)

The finale. We all sing a rendition of Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up.” What a crazy night.

The afterparty at Blue Goose! Thanks to the Kollab staff and all the awesome people I met through this whole experience.

Outside with Austin, Hippie Hippie Hooray, Esna, Geo, and Bart and Joe from JustKidding Films!

** Went to bed at 5am! Later I would wake up 3 hours after to embark on a weekend long bachelor party for my college buddy. I’m happy to say I survived this insane mega weekend!
