🎶 My Life’s Soundtrack — 1986: The Beginning

This is where it all started.

Born April 17, 1986…
A baby in someone’s arms with no idea what the journey ahead would look like.

But one thing that would always be there?

Music.

The late 80s were full of funk, early hip-hop, and smooth R&B that played in the background of living rooms, cars, and family gatherings.

Those sounds became part of my DNA before I even knew what a record was.

1986 was the era of culture shifting.
Movies like She’s Gotta Have It were redefining storytelling, and hip-hop groups like Whodini were pushing the culture forward.

Two records from that year stand out in the soundtrack of my life:

🎧 “Pee-Wee’s Dance” — Joeski Love
🎧 “Rumors” — Rumors

For the next 40 days leading up to my birthday, I’m sharing one year of music from my life.

The songs.
The culture.
The memories.

The soundtrack behind the man I became.

Tomorrow we move to 1987.

Whats your favorite Asian snack ?

Sometimes you just gotta take a field trip for the snacks. 😅

Stopped by the Asia Food Market in Niagara Falls and grabbed a few things I’ve been wanting to try — ramen, Takis, and some boba tea flavors that looked wild.

I swear these international markets always have the most interesting stuff. Different flavors, different packaging, whole different vibe.

Low key inspiration too…
Seeing how other cultures package food and drinks always sparks ideas for products, branding, and experiences.

Creativity really is everywhere if you pay attention.

Now the real question is…

Which one should I try first? 👀

Bebe’s Kids raised a generation different.

Before tablets.
Before algorithms.
Before everything felt filtered.

Outside until the streetlights came on.
Boom boxes on shoulders.
Playground by Another Bad Creation blasting.

90s babies… we built different.

What’s one cartoon or song that instantly takes you back? 👇🏾
