Christian on the set of Sovereign (top right) directing Nick Offerman (center). Why do we watch movies? I think it’s for the same reasons that anybody goes to a museum, or to a concert, or watches a ballet. Involved is a desire to be seen and heard, potentially satisfied by what’s to come on screen and the emotions invoked by movement and sound. Could that extend to the artist that makes/does/portrays art?

If you’re about to fall asleep and searching for a dream, it’s the Sandman that you call. On the days when you’re just looking to dream, Blonde Redhead will do the trick. Sand not included. Born from the New York underground scene, and established in 1993 amidst chronic ‘G’ thangs and the angsty smell of teen spirit, Blonde Redhead is the precocious brain-and-heart child of identical twins Amedeo & Simone Pace, and Kazu Makino.

However, in this interview, JJ, who you all will come to know as Jezebiel, a budding reggaetón artist coming straight outta Ocala, FL, will talk all about his Puerto Rican heritage and his personal connection to music–food and beverages included. Do you remember the first time you heard music? Whether that’s an instrument or a song.
