A Soul Stage Portforlio 

A Soul Stage is an immersive, multi-sensory performance platform that transcends traditional boundaries of music, art, and storytelling. It’s a space where the raw essence of the Black experience is brought to life through soulful performances, visual art, and community engagement. With each event, "A Soul Stage" aims to create a profound connection between Blacks multidisciplinary mediums, the artists and the audience, fostering a shared journey of resilience, love, and truth.

A Soul Stage” seeks to amplify the voices of remarkable soul artists in Baltimore, connecting them to global opportunities and resources. As we look to expand on our previous success, our goal is to further elevate and champion the genre of soul music, continuing our tradition of partnering with local Black-owned businesses such as Adorn Vintage Furniture, Stem and Vine, Rebekah Rose, Gold Room Rehearsal Studio, Mama Koko’s, The Empanada Lady, Time Printers and more.

Micro Music Films

I classify my music videos as micro music films because they are not simply visual accompaniments to a track, they are fully realized cinematic experiences. Each piece is treated as a short film. These pieces incorporate intentional cinematography, narrative scripting, lighting design, character development, wardrobe direction, and symbolic visual language. The music is the spine, but the film expands the emotional universe of the song. Where the lyrics hint, the visuals deepen. Where the melody moves, the camera breathes. The films are crafted with the same discipline as independent cinema story arcs, mood boards, shot composition, color theory, and pacing are all deliberate. Lighting becomes language as seen of many of the collaborations between myself and the film directors I partner with. Silence becomes tension. Framing becomes poetry.

The themes present in my music love, lust, joy, revolution, ancestry, softness, rage, spirituality, are translated visually with texture and intention. If the song is ancestral, the visuals feel ritualistic. If the song is sensual, the lens lingers. If the song is revolutionary, the imagery disrupts. I approach each micro music film as world-building a level of space I am able to use to deepen the listeners understanding of the piece of music or the feeling I felt while writing it. 

The goal is immersion to allow viewers to enter into my reality and the emotional space of the record rather than just watch it. These films are intimate in scale but expansive in meaning. They are concise yet layered, typically shorter in length but dense with symbolism, mood, and narrative depth. I hope to grow with each visual and each collaboration. 

Red Rage Revelation 

Adewummi pronounced {Ah-day-Woo-Mee} : emerges as a new facet of the artist known as Black Assets, a name rooted in reclamation, resistance, and creative power. As a multidisciplinary artist, Adewummi weaves together visual art, poetry, and sound to explore the depth of Black identity, memory, and ancestral reconnection.

Their debut exhibition, "RED | RAGE | REVELATION," is an immersive experience that speaks through texture, amplified sound, and striking monochromatic visuals. Each piece is an invocation, of fury, of truth, of rediscovery. Through this collection, Adewummi channels the lost and reclaimed heritage of their Nigerian ancestry, confronting the rupture caused by the Black experience in America while forging a path toward healing and reclamation.

For Adewummi, art is not just an expression, it is a tactile and sonic experience, a vessel for the voices that history sought to silence. Their work invites touch, demands engagement, and amplifies stories often left unheard.

This is more than an exhibition. This is a reckoning.

At all times, I am a recording artist. I write constantly. I record constantly. I stay in practice because music is not something I visit, it's something I live inside of. I believe in keeping the muscle present, the pen sharp, the voice active, and the catalog growing. There is always music being created, always something new for streaming platforms, for the fans who have been with me, and for the listeners who are just discovering me.

My goal is clear: I am writing toward a Grammy. Not for validation, but for impact for my family and for me. I believe this gift is given for a reason that reason being excellence. Also for recognition of the depth and intentionality behind my craft. I am preparing for an album that captures what people experience when they see me live, because my live sound is a force. It is textured, layered, embodied. It is spiritual and now, translating that electricity into a recorded body of work is the challenge I am committed to conquering this year for Grammy consideration.

My work is rooted in deep folk storytelling, ancestral narratives that feel gifted to me through dreams, spirit, inspiration, and what I call Source. I often feel like I am remembering songs as much as I am writing them. There is lineage in my lyrics. There is inheritance in my melody.

But my artistry is not confined to one lane.

My spectrum is wide because my spirit is wide. I write about love and lust. Sex and softness. Joy and peace. Revolution and rage. Healing and hunger. I write what feels true in the moment in the inspiration and in the spirit, and what feels honest in my body. My genre bends around the emotion. Indie. Folk. Soul. Blues. Rock. EDM. Pop. Club. I don’t chase genre I respond to feeling. My spirit hears the music first, and my body delivers it in the most organic way possible. That is my sound. It is not manufactured. It is embodied.

When you experience me live, you see the passion in real time. You see the sweat, the breath, the surrender, the storytelling the way the music moves through me instead of just from me. That live experience is the blueprint. Capturing that raw, unfiltered energy on record is the album I am building now.

I am not experimenting with identity. I am refining translation turning the fullness of my live spirit into something you can press play on and feel just as deeply. That is the work.
That is the goal.

Born from lineage, love, and the ritual of gathering, Black Sips is rooted in my grandmother's legacy.
Before cocktails were craft and before bars were brands, my family was already making spirits. My grandmother was a wine maker. My lineage includes moonshiners, people who understood fermentation from potato skins, the patience needed, and the sacred act of sharing drink as communion.

When my grandmother transitioned, she left me her wine recipe. As I journey toward bringing that wine back into production in my own way, Black Sips became a living bridge, my way of staying connected to her, to our ancestry, and to the communities whose influence on the cocktail industry is foundational yet too often unacknowledged. Similar to that of my people's contribution to America.

Black Sips is an extension of my creative works as Black Assets as I journey through art, sound, authenticity, and storytelling.
Whether in a hidden Baltimore speakeasy or a neighborhood bar with deep roots, Black Sips uncovers the people, rituals, and relationships behind the cocktails we love, making intentional space for Black joy, flavor, presence, and authorship in all areas of hospitality.

This platform exists to honor the makers. To slow the moment down. To tell the stories behind the glass and to bridge the gap between community, art, music, cocktails and storytelling.
