Since post-grad, I've been living in Boston for two years and like most work in corporate America :( . So to combat all the bad vibes that come with that, I listen to a lot of music :)

 

I feel like a lot of people are like me in the way that I listen to certain songs during specific times of the day. Like before work, I listen to Halle Berry by Hurricane Chris to start the day with good vibes. At work, I listen to LA PATRULLA by Peso Pluma and Neton Vega to go with the sad corporate vibes. Remixes burst the eardrums after work to put me into my main character energy before I go to my UFC gym classes. And after class, I either listen to Just Fine by Mary J. Blige or Crazy Story by King Von and Lil Durk, depending on whether I kicked ass or got my ass kicked. ​​

​

I haven't gone out in other cities yet, so I don't know what it's like. But in Boston, it's cold most of the time, so you can't enjoy outdoor venues as much as you would want. People don't be dancing at bars or even clubs most times. And at most places, people are just chillin in their little groups, not mingling. Making approaching people lowkey scary, even if you pregamed well, and are trying to make friends or find your future wife.

 

Basically, the place could be good, but the vibes are either dead, non-existent, or even worse, boring. And for all you people that grew up here and hate me for saying that, all I got to say is New York is the city that never sleeps. And Boston, has a strict bedtime. Even if fun things are happening, you either have to have a connect, buy event tickets from a random IG page that are $90 for a spot you can go next week for free, or you missed an event altogether and are forced to watch what could've been.

The sad thing is, I know Boston has the talent, the taste, and the history, but sometimes our city’s vibe gets crushed by logistics, early curfews, and a lack of... well, you know. So it's hard to know who has the good vibes, what the vibes are at some places, when fun events are happening, and where the good music and your people are.

 

I started follow the vibes. to save Boston's rep as a sleepy city. But as I began to listen to even more music while picking up DJing, I started appreciating musicians and artists a lot more. They are so talented, I want to show people how much skill goes into their craft, how it can create some unreal moments, and give them the appreciation they deserve.

 

I would like to give any artists, any media platforms, and any venues the infrastructure and opportunity they need to actually show what can really happen here in Boston and what vibes they bring.

 

By handling sound, filming, and space access, I’m creating room for better music, better visuals, and more diverse energies — whether that’s in a club, a private space, or a spot with no crowd at all. All the vibes. The goal isn’t hype; that's just a side effect of my work. It’s to build a living archive of Boston’s vibe while helping all artists and move Boston's scene forward.
