How did it all start?
There isn't a direct answer to this question. Somehow I always knew I wanted to be in front of a camera but I never knew what content I'd push out to the public. One thing that is always certain, the memories I'm capturing are priceless. It's true growth.
I've tired EVERYTHING; from silly YouTube Videos, to Cinematic Videos, Making Music to putting together edits for other Content Creators. I sought to create things for my own foundation, so overtime I saw that I didn't have much to myself. No community, No Support. I wanted to change that.
When did it all change?
This part isn't really n0thing special... well to me it can be but to others it might seem a little dull. . .
It started like this, There was a time in my life when I had my own place, my own things. This consisted of an Apartment and my own console with my own wifi. I was laying down on my bed that was placed in the middle of the living room because the weeks before had been really tough. I cooped with those feelings by moving my bed in the living room so I wouldn't feel alone. Hearing the neighbors waking up in the morning to go to work, hearing the kids run past screaming in innocents made me feel warm.
Moreover as I was laying there I told myself "I have everything I need, what am I waiting for?" I sat up and got to work. Starting up isn't cheap, but there are ways around the retail price and still get a steal. It's called 'FACEBOOK MARKET' if you are looking to save money on name brand items and also still get great quality, it's the place for you. Used but still capable, this is where I bought my first capture card (HD60) to allow me to stream my console. This also left me with another issue. . . I needed a computer, a Headquarters. It's what I consider it, it will be the place where I'll be publishing and promoting my own content for month on ends.
However, electronics are vey demanding (More information on the Specs Electronics page)...I later bought myself a MacBook off Amazon's refurbished items, this wasn't the best choice but it got me to a point where the gaming content was bringing in actual people that was watching my content; also recommending different types of streaming. Around this time it's been about a 1 year and 4 months since I sat up on my bed and a lot has changed. A LOT. I wasn't going to give up.
Let
it
begin.
I found myself back at my mom's house, in debt and broke. In all this motion I still had something on my mind..'IRL STREAMING'(In Real Life Streaming)
I was so curious why so many people watch these 'IRL Streamers', what did they offer? Then I started my dive into the Streaming industry with so many moving parts. Contracts, Deals, Collabs, Subathons, Gambling, and so much more. To these paid relationships to even natural, it all seemed useless. All these high value Celebrities starting to stream themselves.... With every different Streamer and every different style, it still felt saturated...Connections were being made but they still seemed altered, staged. Nothing seemed Natural.. With having so much to myself to now having nothing, it hit me...this is it. This is what I am supposed to be showing, the struggle. It isn't always glitter and glam, that's how the streaming world made it seem.. No local community, just material.
I started to build.
With a $1000 iPhone I got discounted from Verizon for trading in my old iPhone X I downloaded StreamLabs. This app is available on all OS (Operating Systems), it allows you to create your own dream with overlays, alerts and visible chat... it hasn't let me down. . . yet. I had a plan, to capture as much City Night Life as I could to show viewers across my city and around the world, you just have to start
The Intonation
At first I didn't start with walking around my Local Downtown Socializing. I started with setting up my streams on the corner of my City's University boulevard using my iPhone as the capture device and also the device to enable live streaming all off one app, StreamLabs. Overtime it got very expensive becuase I felt the neeed to provide passerbyers with free beverages and little snacks, this accumulated. Not just the giving part which made it expensive...there was a lot of intoxicated adults. As time went on only time showed that electronics and drunks didn't mix well. I could've filed property damage but I was to exhausted with everything else going on.
Let's Walk, Let's Talk
After the Setup stage, it tought me a lot about Public Relations. How you start a conversation, and get key details about the person I'm speaking to as well as names. Meeting people taught me how important it is to remember the names of the people you meet. You never know one day you might need help and you'll see them on the street or vice versa....don't expect...just always be kind.
With being static, it grew a hunger in me to explore my Entire City, Inside and out. Not leaving out one corner in my City, even including abandon sites. I wanted to share everyone's voice on topics that don't reach the media, topics that are sensitive for the majority masses and also create meaningless connections because why not.... you always have fun.
