He co-founded the Beat Making Lab, a PBS Emmy-winning program that teaches hip hop and electronic production globally—from Congo to Haiti—using music as a tool for social change. As Apple Juice Kid he has produced for Mos Def, Azealia Banks, Wale and collaborated with labels like Ultra and VP, while also scoring for brands such as VH1, MTV and Nike.
