The Sophisticated Psychos Are Looking To Transform Your Life

The Sophisticated Psychos
The Sophisticated Psychos met in a recording studio in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. Bay boy, producer, and songwriter, Nicky Scorpio met poet, actor, producer, and Detroit-native Kyriaki after her international tour with 50 Cent & G-unit, and the connection was instantaneous. These two visionary artists then created The Sophisticated Psychos, and they are now on a mission to be role models and change perspectives on pop culture and mental health. 
Their sound is hard-hitting, self-produced trap and electronic beats with raw, edgy, and very honest subject matter dealing with abuse, wellness, and society. TSP are now focused on spreading their music and messages of values and ethics, through music and visual content.
And Kyriaki just released a single called Angels and Rainbows. Stick around to the end of the episode and you can listen to the song.

How to be an Artist Right Now - Two Artists/Art Teachers Talk About How You Can Do It Too.

We're living in challenging times. We're facing a pandemic, quarantine, and tough times for friends and family. And frankly, we need to process. And there's no better way to process than to make art. So, I went to the source to get some answers.
This conversation with Rebecca Watford (R) and Helena Dominic (L) was incredible! These two artists and art teachers dropped amazing wisdom on confidence, creativity, and what it takes to be an artist (hint: you already are one). 😉 This episode will teach you how to be an artist right in your house with what you have already handy! They teach students of all ages how to overcome the fear of being wrong in their art. And if they can do that, they can help the rest of us.

The First Step in Responding Optimally

It's so simple and automatic. And it can be super hard to remember in the moment. 
Not since I had pneumonia as a teenager have I been so aware of the need to breathe and how lucky I feel that I can do it without any trouble.
This short episode is all about how to build awareness and open to the breath so you make better and more creative decisions.
I created this video called Breath and Motion that will help you start.
