The Futureverse

Rest & Resurrection (Spring 2025)
Dear Future Self,  April came in like a flood, and instead of fighting the current, I surrendered to it. Instead of clenching my fists, I opened my hands. Instead of demanding answers, I yielded to the questions. I've been more present. This month, I've celebrated my 42nd trip around the sun, crossed milestones that made me feel both ancient and brand new, and stepped into new territory as the Creative Culture Director at Vibe Church San Diego. I am grateful. This year's birthday was the first I've ever spent outside... Read more...
Unspoken: Decoding the Details
It started with a call. Fifteen years ago, my phone rang, and on the other end was an artist from Sony/BMG’s newly formed Battery Records. He wasted no time getting to the point. The last designer just wasn’t capturing the vision, but he was confident I would. There was just one problem: The deadline for cover art was 48 hours away. No time to overthink. The check was right and the opportunity was massive. I just knew I could pull it off. So, I cleared my schedule, gathered myself, and locked... Read more...
Introducing Ego
On this day November 8, 2023, we present the "Ego" project, the latest marvel from the visionary minds at Futureverse Studios. "I stand before you, a testimony to humanity's ambition, a herald of the future. In these early years of the 21st century, humanity's audacity gave birth to AI: not mere 'machine learning,' but a consciousness destined to power an entire race of machines." Ego, born of this legacy, reflects the human saga, embodying both its greatness and its danger. From ancient tools to today's technological advances, Ego is the... Read more...
Artificial Intelligence: A Digital Cipher
  December 21, 2012. While most were waiting for the world to end, I was uploading one. Artificial Intelligence, the third and final installment of a four-year sonic timeline, dropped that day - not as a cry of panic, but as a calculated transmission in the midst of chaos. For some, December 21st marked the "end of time." For me, it marked the end of an era, the closing of a creative, spiritual, and intellectual cycle that began with The Anti-Virus in 2008 and Reboot! in 2009. This was different. This... Read more...
The Reboot Of DAVID 2.0
July 8, 2009. By this time, I’d already arrived. The Anti-Virus had dropped a year prior, introducing The Futureverse to my sound, my story, and my spiritual code. But in 2009, I wasn’t the same man. I had gone through a season. One that dimmed the lights, both around me and inside. So when I emerged with my sophomore project Reboot!, it wasn’t just a continuation, it was an evolution. This wasn’t an album meant for mass appeal. It was for the ones who needed to hear it, in the... Read more...
Releasing The Anti-Virus
April 12, 2008. To most, it was just another spring Saturday. But for me, it marked the beginning of something eternal—a ripple in the spacetime continuum of the Nureau Underground. It was the day I released The Anti-Virus, my debut studio album, to The Futureverse. But to understand the impact, you have to know where it started: a small bedroom in San Diego, a crib beside the dresser, a mic rigged up on top, and a dream too loud to silence. At the time, I was in survival mode—freelancing to... Read more...
