Hello! My name is Bl4xk Rose and I'm a multidisciplinary artist living in Prince George's County, Maryland, and CEO of Chaos Theory LLC. My main modes of creativity are literary with song-writing, script-writing, and short stories as well as poetry. I also like to tell stories visually by way of drawing, painting, clothing design, and even branching my way out into set design and cinematography. I love art direction and getting to see my vision come to life but my heart truly lends itself to singing. It allows me to translate the soundtrack that is constantly playing in my head.
An Artist Who loves to serve God and Serve Humanity
