THE BIO

Quddus Philippe is a shamanic guide, sound facilitator, and the founder of Sound Sanctuary. Known for his soulful presence and grounded approach, he leads individuals and groups through immersive sound journeys designed to reconnect people with their inner truth.

Before devoting his life to this work, Quddus built a successful career in music and media — from his start as a campus radio DJ to becoming the host of MTV’s Total Request Live, where TIME Magazine named him “one of pop culture’s foremost tastemakers.” After leaving MTV and serving as a creative director at Myspace, he was inspired into mentoring and launching The Creator Incubator.

His path shifted after a painful divorce and a deeper reckoning with success. Sound and psychedelics became the doorway back to himself.  Through years of study with master teachers in sound and the shamanic arts, Quddus transformed his personal breakdown into a path of deeper service. Today, he guides others through immersive journeys that awaken clarity and a higher calling.
