A NOTE FROM MARCUS ALLEN

Marcus Allen

Throughout my journey across various creative industries, I've encountered a myriad of challenges—from demanding bosses to skepticism towards creatives in decision making-rooms. Despite the many highs and lows, it often felt like few truly understood our value. Creatives were dismissed or told to pursue "real" jobs, only to face similar challenges in new roles.

Amidst this backdrop, I found myself daydreaming: Where could I create a haven for talented friends, colleagues, and industry icons? I needed a space where expertise could shine, liberated from traditional boundaries and nurtured to excellence by our industry's most innovative minds.

This vision— this autogenous birth was fueled by a community of diverse backgrounds and multidisciplinary skills and is united in our quest to disrupt and elevate the creative landscape.

In my personal journey, music has always been the catalyst for my profound commitment to artistic expression that spans a lifetime. It has fed me, clothed me, both artistically, and literally.  I reject the notion of confining creativity to a single avenue, instead embracing a multifaceted approach that challenges traditional boundaries, working to infuse each project with a distinctive blend of innovation and uniqueness.

I find the more I immerse myself in projects that resonate with my soul, taking the time to explore the interplay of music, art and design, each endeavor serves as a beacon, each illuminant guiding the transformative power of artistic expression to the next. Through this process, it is the goal to inspire others to embrace their talents and passions to the fullest, fostering a culture where creativity can thrive unburdened. 

This journey isn't solely about projects, time, or money. It's about forging enduring relationships and finding fulfillment in collective achievements.
