WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE WORKING AT FUCK JERRY MEDIA? IS IT NONSTOP MEMES, CONTENT, & HILARITY?
The media landscape right now is like the Wild Wild West. There are no concrete rules, and I think being a part of Jerry media allows me to be at the forefront of what’s happening. It’s fun coming to work every day with people that are shaping the way 50 million plus consumers are engaging with media.
IN ADDITION TO THESE PROJECTS, YOU’VE ALSO DONE SOME MODELING FOR A FEW SPORTSWEAR BRANDS. HOW DO YOU DEFINE, OR COMMUNICATE, YOUR OWN PERSONAL SENSE OF STYLE? WHAT ARE YOUR STYLE INSPIRATIONS?
I feel like my style is very much internally driven. I do think the man makes the clothes, not the other way around. The most important thing for any man is to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. A man that exudes confidence in overalls can look more stylish than someone in an expensive three piece suit.
As far as external inspirations, I love the 80’s and 90’s. Richard Gere in American Gigolo, Dwayne Wayne from A Different World, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Goldblum, Any old photos from Studio 54. I’m not a afraid to take inspiration from different places, and I'm also not afraid to make mistakes. It's all a part of developing personal style.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU CURRENTLY BUMPING?
I need music to get through the day. I’m listening to the new Pusha T (loving this back and forth with drake), Childish (This is America), Jungle’s “House in LA”, SR3MM by Rae Sremmurd, and “In Mind” by Real Estate.
YOU’RE CLEARLY JUGGLING MANY PROJECTS AND IN THE NEW YORK HUSTLE. WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP YOURSELF ORGANIZED & GROUNDED?
New York is amazing, the energy is addictive, but it can also be overwhelming. I try to get out of the city every six weeks and disconnect my email accounts from my phone (If I’m honest, I'm not good at ignoring them, even on “do not disturb”. Work will always be there tomorrow. I also love to exercise, I find it's the one time I can quiet my mind because it has to focus on what my body is doing.
