or a dream


do you remember the time
before everyone was a celebrity
where there were windows still
and fewer portals
and many more mortals
what are we now
syrup and wheat framed galleries of meat
full of anticipation
stormed with doubt
red with anger
blue with sadness
yellow with joy
what were we then
worthy and ready to be discovered
but still not yet
I keep coming back here
to these memories
waiting for you to be here with me
or for there to be better wormholes
so we can be here together
at the same time
in the same moment
with the same feeling
the same glowing and healing energy
like China’s many suns
like Japans many red ones
like Nigeria’s many moons
and Creole ninjas
do you remember that time
was that yesterday
or a dream

Feel Safe - Live at the Ikea Table



I hope you take the time to feel safe. Also, I hope you are actually safe, and have the time to be able to work!

Oh. Tae, Mr. Composition and "毎晩" feat Danielle Victoria - ONE at Gardopia Gardens

This is probably the closest a stranger could ever get to being able to understand why I love this woman. Who else would be down to spontaneously come up with matching Nigerian clothes while forcing a performance of a Japanese themed song on our crew of local celebrities?

"ANIME" - Kinyo (Music Video)

This was a fun project. I put some footage with Gary Vaynerchuck at the beginning. That was the beginning of a journey for me. I have to thank God for showing me how nothing in my life measures up to what he can do in a moment. If you knew the full story of the "Gary Vee" moment you'd find out God was the real one behind the scenes.







I'm Using Painting to make ONE local in Northwest San Antonio with ART WELL

I'm excited to be creating another event in one of my favorite parts of one of my favorite cities. Many of you know me from poetry, music, media, or business, but one of my favorite areas of exploration is art. I love painting and painters and am always interested in new art forms.

I took some of the biggest personal leaps with my art while living in the Northwest area of San Antonio. 

The logo for my business Project Forward was created during a live painting within walking distance of where I'm doing the ART WELL event on Nov 2nd, 2019, at an event called Laughter Prescribed in 2015. (pic below)



I also created my first solo event at a now-closed African Restaurant two years ago in 2013 earlier in Northwest San Antonio on Bandera after being in the city for 11 months. (pic below)




The year after that I performed at a church youth group event "Katalambano". (post-performance interview below)


One year later Katalambano happened again, and that's when I really "laid hold", using live painting and event organizing to attempt to use art as a vehicle to reflect the beauty we all carry inside.

In fact, you can say something about this small area of this small city was perfect for an art awakening. (picture evidence below from 2015ish)



It's been a long journey, from first drawing classes in the Antelope Valley with my friends Oscar and Steve to taking painting classes at Northwest Vista Community College.

The latest event is going to combine my love of painting and painters, with my desire to highlight the atmosphere of culture that makes is little are of this often forgotten city to perfect place to take a journey through art.

Starting my Journey with Gold in the Millenial Way!

I'm getting started building wealth with Karat Bars: https://www.karatbars.com/?s=kinyo

I've always been 'in' to the internet. Since I could blog I've blogged. I love searching for life on this barren wasteland because there are the budding trappings of REAL life out here.

Being able to live "on the internet" really means being able to live anywhere at all. Focusing on the parts of your life that matter most when they matter most, relationships, health, wealth, curiosity, peace.

That is what has led me here, to the life I live now. Part Thom Yorke, part Elon Musk, part Kanye Angelou Chappelle Tron Goonies Doctor Who Luther...

Karat Bars is an MLM. I used to be skeptical of MLMs then I realized everything is MLM. I still stayed away, but this is one I identify with. So if I can help YOU out by referring you I honestly feel like I'm helping you take control of the "wealth" part of your life, and doing the same for myself, so I can create more art. Art helps us take control of a whole different are of our life and doesn't need to be connected directly with money, it should be spread freely!

On the other hand, I do think money is important. A friend, Mr. Composition, said to me "Gold is Timeless" and it clocked, that's why I like gold. Buying gold is like investing in time.

That's why when this company was recommended to me I jumped on it. It was the perfect blend of modern communication technology (including blockchain) and REAL gold. I'm excited to get started.

If you want to start your "Gold" journey with me click the link: https://www.karatbars.com/?s=kinyo

Otherwise, keep checking back here to here my feedback on using Karat Bars to invest in Gold.

#VoteEarth Was Amazing

Pictures Courtesy of Stephen Lucke and Gardopia Gardens

This weekend was amazing, #VoteEarth at Gardopia Gardens was fantastic. The campaign is already guaranteed to plant 100 trees this year!

Super positive announcement! I did some live painting(#inprogress it's not finished till it's signed), read a few poems, shared the stage with passionate people! 

Great snacks provided by the whole #TeamGardopia I literally coasted on that high all weekend! It is great to be able to make art, make artistic events and see how that effort translates to REAL positive change. 

Everyone who came out or showed love in any way, YOU helped plant those trees. #StayTuned for what is next and go learn more about #VoteEarth from GardopiaGardens.org and Kinyo.org

Keep Going a Poem by Kinyo

I wrote and recorded this poem over 6 years ago. I can hardly believe how time has flown. Listening back to it, it feels like a memory. It feels like I can see it echo all throughout my timeline. The push to "Keep Going"




Music by "Cinematic Orchestra"

Life is long. Holding on to a dream can seem hard, but I feel like it's been easy for me. I suppose it's because of all the blessings on the way. I'm grateful to be able to keep going. I feel pressured to share that with other people however I can. I feel like for a lot of people they just need a little prayer, but sometimes, you also have to fight.

I'm Famous! Watch me on The Richard Wilmore Show Season 3 Episode 14: Kinyo

A really great interview with the awesome Richard Wilmore. This is my second talk show interview and it feels super awesome to be able to talk out my ideas with someone other than the people close to me who I torture with it all the time.



Enjoy this!

Getting Out the Vote, Stirring Political Dialogue with Growing Empowered Together

I've been working with Growing Empowered Together for what feels like a couple years. It's been amazing. I knew from the first time that I met Lauren, the kind of person she was, what I didn't know is how tirelessly she works doing the "small", "heart-centered" aspects of running a production company.

Growing Empowered Together or GET for short is a nonprofit production company that's been working to motivate San Antonio youth to include voting in their lifestyle.

I've hung out with the GET crew, I've hosted their show "Millenial Matters", I've hosted live events for them, and I've planned and conversed with the crew. I'm a part of the crew.



Above you can see the trailer for EP10, where I interviewed Accomplished Texas Activists H. Drew Galloway (Executive Director of MOVE Texas) and Beth Stevens (Texas Civil Rights Project).

At the end of my vlog video below, you can see the first GET event I ever attended, BEFORE I started working with them.

Just Found I Got a Poetry Sample on Prince Ivy New EP "AyeYoKinyo"

So I was doing my late-night Saturday work (it had turned into some twitter time-line research) and I finally start listening to my friend Prince Ivy's new album. 

Boom! I start the first track, it's bumping and then I come back to what the other tracks are and I see it! a track titled "AyeYoKinyo". 

Bro, it's Hilarious, and I'm honored. The two poems featured will likely be published soon in a new book of poetry by me. 

Go check out the track!

AyeYoPrince thanks my guy!

As a caution, Prince's Lyrics on his tracks is definitely explicit and not for children!

Radio Personality Shawn Flanagan Brings Up Inspiring Topics on My Podcast

I've had the pleasure of quite a few conversations with my soon to be Uncle, or Uncle In-Law, Shawn Flanagan. 

My introduction started with his career in "Track" from 'racing towards the Olympics' to coaching runners who would do the same. After sports, it turned quickly to politics, but really, it turned to philosophy.

Flanagan retired very recently and has put a lot of energy to search the greatest philosophical texts and appearing on Bob Jone's 1440 KEYS in Corpus Christi, TX

Where he picks apart the intellectual and cultural concepts we call "Freedom"
 

It was awesome to have him on my podcast. We talked about something even more complex than "Freedom", we talked about "Art". Listen below.


毎晩 (feat. Danielle Victoria)


Let me start by saying thank you to Danielle Victoria, for the feature, for the title of the song and for writing the 2nd vocals I do, music and lyrics....

...
...thank you,,

kisses cheek...

...ok

Other than that this track is more nostalgia, more emotion, and more cool vibes. Go listen to 毎晩 or Every Night. The song has some lyrics in Japanese.

I made this song 4 years ago. The painting series is called "Worship". It was created for an awesome weekend of events called Katalambano at Salvation Center in San Antonio
