RIVALS OF WATERDEEP

Rivals of Waterdeep is an all POC Dungeons and Dragons actual play that livestreams on the official Dungeons and Dragons Twitch Channel. Our genuine love for each other and the game shines through in the project and viewers have noticed. We’ve been mentioned in The New York Times, The Guardian and Geek and Sundry. Our online presence matches our core beliefs: Love and Support.

THE DUNGEON RATS

After playing 2 games of Dungeon and Dragons I decided to start a D&D project. I took a home game with friends and invited listeners to shape our story. I produced the show with sound effects and original music, and edited each episode to feel like a real audio drama. The show grew to thousands of weekly listeners and inspired everything from fan artwork to cosplay. It wasn’t long before Wizards of the Coast noticed and asked me to work on other projects with them.

VICTORIAN HALLS

Victorian halls was a high energy emo band I started in the late 2000’s. Navigating the music scene at this time helped me develop many skills but none greater than the importance of knowing my audience. Much of the success and attention the band saw was from being able to listen and engage with our listeners. Our loyal fanbase helped us gain press, which helped us sign to a label, which put our music in Hot Topics and allowed us to tour.

HELLO, I’M CARLOS
The combination of my technical skills and creative strategy allows me to tell authentic brand stories that connect with people and shows value to the audience.

I got my start in the music industry doing graphic design and engaging with listeners. I was not only developing strategy but was producing the content as well. Every promotion and message that I launched was a thoughtful component of my branding and marketing strategy. It wasn’t long before I was signed and touring.

After music, I grew my skills further, learning film editing while studying branding and marketing. I put what I learned to good use, helping to grow my hobbies into career opportunities.
