<p>&nbsp;I had the oppurtunity recently to work with KARMIN on there debut performance... KARMIN became popular last year when a series of there <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khCokQt--l4" target="_blank">YOUTUBE COVERS</a> went viral grabbing over 50 million hits.. Now they are set to release there debut album sometime in late march. Also working on his project is a great friend and talented musical director Tony Bruno. Check out some images and the link to the SNL performance! Stay tuned for more on KARMIN in 2012.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This month i was able to work with BIG SEAN on his Anticipation 2OUR whcih started in Cleveland Ohio to an amazingly energetic crowd! The Anticipation Tour Features Headliner Trey Songz and BIG SEAN as ahip hop and RnB powerhouse providing non stop hits from the momemnt the lights go down.</p>
<p>I was contacted by BIG SEAN's &nbsp;team to design a set and lighting design to really set BIG SEAN apart from his previous tours. The outcome was 5 massive set pieces built of 3 dimensional glass mirror with a little visual trick to the mirror, go see the show and you will see for yourself !!&nbsp;</p>

<p>I designed the lighting for the show and film shoot of the runway show. We were going for the backstage/behind the scenes vibe , thats why all the stands and old school fresnels, cables everywhere, and big ole maxi brutes. When we were shooting this we reached record tempatures in NYC somewhere around 110 degrees!!!!! and all the models still look good, go figure!</p>

Adam and i met in a freezing airplane hanger 3 hours outside of london in the dead of winter.... no we werent on a covert operation as military members, it was more like the first version of Kanye West's Glow in the Dark tour. We spent many hours (locked) in rehearsals working on what would be one of the most amazing shows i have been apart of to date. Adam is one of todays BEST and highly saught after MD's. He is currently working with : Janet Jackson, Eminem, Demi Lovato, Lil Wayne, and just wrapped up the VH1 Divas Live show here in NY.
