Where Story, Sound, and Purpose Meet.

The Panopticon is a shape-shifting creator—producer, musician, ambassador of good will for the world's largest service organization, and narrative architect—who spent over a decade running an independent record label devoted to underground hip-hop, funk, and rock. Performing under many names and across countless genres, he built a reputation for reinvention. Beyond music, he is a storyteller, game designer, filmmaker, humanitarian, and philanthropist.

He co-founded DGRS Labs, a storytelling platform that gives people the power to bring their own worlds to life. Through it, he created The Dischordian Saga, a community-governed interactive narrative with two seasons of interconnected stories, songs, and games.

In 2023, his humanitarian work led him to Nairobi, where he met Malkia Ukweli—founder of Keeping a Girl in School, a movement ensuring young women have the dignity and resources to stay in school. An internationally known motivational speaker, Malkia is celebrated for speaking truth to power and inspiring change through story and song.

Her mission sparked a creative alignment. His imagination amplified her message. Together, they formed a collaboration that blends activism, artistry, global storytelling, and soulful spiritualism into a shared call for empowerment.
