What’s up Juggalos?
We just wanted to briefly address some rumors you might have heard recently regarding our big homie Violent J…
A few weeks ago The Duke was experiencing shortness of breath and went to the emergency room expecting there was an issue with his AFib. The good news is his heart is perfectly fine and healthy. The bad news is, Violent J had pneumonia. But have no fear, he’s currently doing really well, and his doctors said he should be able to go home in the next 2 to 3 days. He’s feeling better and better with each passing day and right now just soaking in all the much-needed rest and relaxation while enjoying the company of his family. Sometimes it just takes a little pneumonia to remind you slow down and enjoy the little things.
But unfortunately, with Violent J spending most of the last month inside the hospital the planned release of ICP’s new EP “Pug Ugly the Stink Bud” has been pushed back to a yet to be determined date. But we assure you, it will be well worth the wait.
Now let’s all send a few extra blessings and some positive karma over to our homie Violent J and help wish him to a full and speedy recovery.
I love music. I love crowded venues, loud music, and sweat-soaked fans. I love the sound of a venue opening its doors to the public.
Hey there! I have a wealth of experience in the entertainment and private event industries, having worked in various roles over the past 20 years. I have a private security background and have received training in defensive strategy, Krav Maga, festival security planning, and emergency response. I've worked at some fantastic concert venues and festivals, such as Emo's East, Stubb's, ACL Festival, Bonnaroo, and SXSW. I've also been fortunate to work in the box office for the Circuit of the Americas and the Germania Music Amphitheater music venue.
In 2014, I developed a passion for all things media-related and began exploring content creation and concert photography opportunities. I have no formal training in these areas, but in 2017, I decided to take it to the next level by pursuing a degree in the arts, specifically in radio, television, and film. I am currently a multimedia journalist for the student life department at ACC. I have received a scholarship from the Austin Film Society.
I've been blessed to have been mentored as a talent buyer under the legendary Mark Lee of 462 Concerts (now known as Live Nation) in Dallas, Tx, for nearly a decade. I've also had the opportunity to work as a camera operator for the Full Moon Features Puppetmaster sequel: Doktor Death and filmed multiple music videos, including SSB's feature single with Bernz, "Insane," and the Dirty Wormz dub hop single with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko "2INCH REEL KILLA".
I truly believe in capturing the essence of life and representing it in a creative effort. Overall I'm passionate about my work and excited to share my experience and skills with others.
