Thanks for expressing interest in receiving Rap Coaching from me. I’m looking forward to working with you and helping you reach those goals!
Here are some details regarding the rap vocal session and what I offer.
My 1-hour session is based upon 5 pillars of rap excellence:
1. Mind, Body, Spirit
2. Breathwork
3. Freestyling/ Channeling Flow State
4. Creation (Create your flow)
5. Embodiment (Be the flow)
1. We begin the session stretching, setting intentions and goals, visualizing, and grounding ourselves in a powerful place of presence and flow. Doing so allows us to come from a place of truth when synching the mind, body, and soul into our rap practice.
2. The breath is the foundation of the voice. We do a couple breathing techniques to bring more life into our rap vocal deliveries. This also allows us to get our bodies and voices more activated and energized to set the tone for the rest of the session. (Did you know a lot of dope rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem have amazing breath control?). Stronger diaphragms make better rappers.
3. Free-styling or the art of coming up with lines off the top of the dome, allows one to channel higher states of consciousness in the moment. Studies show increased activities in areas of the brain associated with creativity, motivation, emotion, language, and motor skills. So this helps one to gain more confidence using imagination & fun and becoming a better rapper overall.
4. We create our flow with writing exercises. You will leave the session with your own personal rap/s and more confidence. Depending on the students rap level and goals, I work to accommodate those needs.
5. The student embodies the flow and in a sense, becomes the verse or song. Here, we take verses whether fresh and original or another artist’s song lyrics and we focus on the performance aspect: delivery, cadence, style, swagger, tonality etc. Our goal is to bring that verse /poem/speech/song to life and get the student to connect to it on an even deeper level.

He uses the art of vocal expression as a tool for personal self development, coaching methods he’s used personally that’ve helped him in his 20+ years of performing.
