Technology & Culture
Creative work at the intersection of AI and Afro-diasporic storytelling.
For over two decades I've used music, visual art, and storytelling to explore how technology shapes cultural identity, ownership, and creative agency.
01 / Core Projects
Three interconnected projects exploring what happens when AI enters culturally rooted creative practice and what it means to keep authorship, voice and cultural specificity intact.
AI Concept Album
A concept album built to test what happens to creative agency when generative AI tools are part of the production process. All lyrics were written by me. Production was a co-creation between my direction and AI generation.
AI Artist Persona
BigBadAI is an AI artist persona I created and directed. A deliberate experiment in building an artist identity through AI while grounding it in real cultural experience. Inspired by my daughter's heritage—Kenyan, Tanzanian and Nigerian roots connected to the UK.

AI Short Film
An AI-generated techno-thriller built around a single question: what if the road to progress was built on an upgraded version of the same old system? The film examines how extraction rebrands itself as opportunity, and what it costs the communities excluded from building the technologies that now reshape their lives.
