ABOUT YOUR GUIDE

Quddus is a shamanic guide, creative director and multi-instrumentalist who facilitates psychedelic journeys known as Sound Sanctuary and a storytelling program called The Creator Incubator. Before this path, he built a career in music and media, starting as a campus radio DJ and going on to host MTV’s Total Request Live, where TIME named him one of pop culture’s foremost tastemakers. After MTV he worked as a creative director at Myspace, he was inspired to do a leadership training and then launched The Creator Incubator to help other creatives amplify their own projects. A divorce and a deeper reckoning with success shifted his path. Sound became the way back to himself. Years of study with master teachers in sound and the shamanic arts turned that personal breakdown into a path of service, and today he also trains other practitioners through Sound Sanctuary Academy.
