Episode 262: Cameron Schuyler & Michael Patti — From Ninja Turtles to Dirty Heads

🎙️BIG episode energy on this one.First off—this was our first-ever live stream on Twitch, and yeah… we’re doing that every week now. No turning back.We’re joined by the phenomenal and well-established reggae-rock scene artist, Cameron Schuyler, and the legendary reggae-rock scene veteran, Michael Patti–and somehow this episode turned into a perfect mix of art, music, origin stories, and absolute nonsense (as it should).Mike’s been off all week and actually got to hang with Cameron and Patti before the show, which made this feel less like an interview and more like friends catching up—with microphones and a live chat watching 👀.Cameron tells the wild story of how his career really started—connecting with Dirty Heads through Facebook, doing flyers and illustrations for bands, and selling his very first piece ever… to Dirty Heads. Word spread, things snowballed, and the rest is history. We go way back into Cameron’s origin story—from being “the guy who drew sketches for everyone” (mostly Ninja Turtles) to live painting on stage with DIRTY HEADS in front of a deafening, absolutely insane crowd.Michael Patti brings a killer perspective on how the reggae genre has expanded—and then straight up exploded—over the last few decades. He also shares the very unsexy but very cool story of how The Pier actually started. Real talk, real grind.
