"So… what do you do?"

(An attempt at NOT being mysterious)

I used to dread getting that question! Maybe you've felt that before?

It was like trying to cram all of this multidimensional stardust inside a little black box that never quite fit.

After 5 monk-mode years of home runs and dark nights of the soul, I figured out that being a multi-passionate is actually a godsend, and there's a way to naturally focus those gifts and skills while saving your time, money, and sanity.

So, as a bit of a late bloomer, I created a system of artful living (while staying 'on business') called FLOWSTATE.

Let's back up a bit.

Before we sail off, if you're new here, my name is Kamau [pronounced Ka-Ma-Oh], meaning quiet warrior.

Coming from Minneapolis MN, I was once that quiet kid with the naruto run who would invent card games, and new languages with all my friends.

Now I'm avid starving artist slayer, world-building brand strategist, and explorer of the all truths stranger than fiction aka. the "ask me something wild" go-to friend.

We can talk all day about the future of creation vs. consumption, arts and design, artificial and ancient intelligence, holistic health habits, systems-thinking etc etc. Everyday I'm blessed to cook up with future creative g.o.a.t.s and free thinkers who are masterminding their magnum opus, building face-to-face connections, and getting booked for what they are worth.

The long-game vision often calls for different hats. By trade, I’m a writer, music producer, web designer, and visual artist, trained in holistic sound and light therapy.

In nebulous essence, the goal has always been to translate complex concepts into digestible chunks through words, worlds, and experiences that feed the mind/body/spirit.

Growing up with parents doubling as musicians and educators, our house sounded like everything from 70s soul classics, 80s everything, 90s R&B, 2000s alt. rock, conscious underground legends, and all the hybrid niches tucked in the crevices of the interwebs. My work has been shaped by the undercurrents of counterculture and subtle nuance. Over time, as the clusterfuck of political theatre and social experiments have created this dystopian vs. solarpunk battle of all, it has made more sense to observe rather than absorb all headlines and buzzwords that have taken place of real innerstanding. While some prefer to watch the movie, you can always find me BTS with those who are more fascinated with why and how this sh*t works.

To decode the matrix of mundacity, you may need to move in mysterious ways.

I founded Waking World and The Hall of Records Learning Portal as an open invitation to question everything—especially the stories we’re told about who we are, what’s possible, and what it means to be free.

It’s a space for memory (beyond dogma) for ancient wisdom, lost science, and creative rebellion to alchemize in the same room.

I’ve always been the one asking: Why does it have to be this way? What are we missing? What are we capable of remembering together?

That curiosity shaped my path, and now it shapes the way I serve.

Whether designing brands, building platforms, composing, or hosting q&a, my goal is the same: to help you remember what’s real, what’s yours, and what’s next.

Note: I also author the Inner Compass, a newsletter for those who want to stay informed, inspired, and spiritually sharp in a world that profits from your disconnection.

We’re living in a time that asks more from us, meaning more vision, more discernment, more grounded imagination. I’m here to build with those who are ready. If you are too: welcome. Let’s rewire the narrative.
