Music
Blackstones Records
Alongside my passion for tech and products, music has been a defining part of my journey.
I released my first rap track at 14, founded my music label “Blackstones” at 16, signed 4 artists, and saw it acquired by a major entertainment company in 2023 - just before I began at Duke.
