This week we are Kush Chatting with Alex Piffington who considers himself a concept artist born and raised in Washington Heights, a mostly dominican populated neighborhood in upper manhattan, Alex Piffington has been experimenting with sounds since as far back as high school. It all started with a love for rock which was highly influenced by his fathers constant blaring of bands such as Queen and Pink Floyd. Soon the band Marigold was born (Marigoldnewyork on instagram.) Marigold is Alex's baby and an always in the work project that consists of psychedelic latin jazz rock. Some time around 2017 Alex began dabbling in the field of audio engineering. Picking up a ZOOM R24 interface as suggested by his long standing friend and teacher Albert Palacios, it was with this tool that My Religion Is Me was recorded. "It all began when I had a lot of downtime and wanted to record other artists. I realized that I had all of the tools that I needed to record myself. "And so it was written." With the help of fellow contemporaries Sebastian Sol and Jason Moya Chase, Alex set out to leave a mark in the destructive era of the current world and also in his hometown of Washington Heights. *Pokemon Music Ensues*

This week we are Kush Chatting with Kristen Booth who is an actor, writer, producer, and previous life dancer—which was the creative gateway drug, dragging her, happy and cackling, all the way to New York. Her professional performance career began on the dance floors of late 90s nightclubs like Cheetah, Spa, Spy, & Centro Fly. Her slick moves were always backed-up by a tight writing style two-stepping in the background; as such, she shuffled her heels onto the main stages of Le Bar Bat, Lotus, and Lot 61 as a featured performance poet and actress. The leap from stage to screen is, indeed, every actor’s dream so when Conan O’Brien, The Sopranos, & Paramount Pictures casting directors called, Kristen hella answered! To this day, she swears Gary Sinise dialed her directly back in 1997, but her pager was mega-delayed on the relay and her answering machine cutoff the last two numbers anyway. Who knows what could have been? Call her now, Gary!

Work and wanderlust has carried Kristen from coast-to-coast often in the last decade with the past few years producing a new and welcome element of camera and technical work on the West Coast. Back on the Atlantic’s shores Kristen Booth was on the boards in several Equity performances including Enron and All Gone West. On Screen, she can currently be seen—even ogled if you like, she doesn’t mind—in New York Christmas Wedding with Chris Noth, behind the bar in The Reunion, and front-and-center in the forthcoming Screen Actor’s Guild short film Welcome To Oneg. In 2019, Kristen launched her production company, Produced By Booth, to house her own creative works as well as provide consulting to give stagnant endeavors—in any industry—a righteous kick in the pants. Produced By Booth is presently operational and available for hire, even during this time of a viral pandemic. “Viral” can be desired and good for your business—starting with an upgrade to the words on your page, just like this…gestures like Vanna to all the letters above. Produced By Booth. Get into it.

This week we are Kush Chatting with Stand Up Comedian with the infamous laugh David Rey Martinez. Both of his parents are from Panama which means he’s from The Bronx who is also a hype-man who was featured on Keon Torres’ “1412” album for the song “When I Make It”, he’s a plus size model, he’s a father & much more..

This week we are Kush Chatting with Isaiah Dunkley who is currently a 28 year old musician, writer, producer, filmmaker, comedian, and mental/emotional awareness teacher born and raised in New York. His inspirations range from the musical genre of rock and pop, the comic styles of producers like CalebCity, KingVader, and kingbach, to various anime, video games and so much more. His goal is to get people to laugh, think, feel and know themselves thoroughly enough to make their own mark in a world that reveals itself everyday before them.
