Hi I’m Kuryente
My artistic journey began in Brooklyn, New York, during the late 1980s and early 1990s when the city thrived with underground Hip Hop and Techno, rave and skate culture, and vibrant visual street art. Growing up in this culturally rich environment ignited my passion for the arts and inspired a creative vision rooted in defying convention and non-conformity. This drive led me to explore DJing, starting with Hip Hop and later on Drum & Bass and Techno. Alongside my passion for music, cinema was a complementary and equally influential force, helping shape the distinctive creative language I express today.
Hip Hop culture planted an entrepreneurial and independent mindset, encouraging me to launch my own business, a media production company called Noisemaker Media. As the founder, I aim to create boundary-pushing, thought-provoking content that bridges technology, art, and culture across traditional and emerging platforms. Drawing on my extensive years of hands-on work in music and film, I’ve guided my company toward a future-forward approach that fully embraces emerging platforms and innovative storytelling techniques. Under my leadership, Noisemaker Media delivers content that challenges audiences, uplifts creative voices, and expands the boundaries of what’s possible in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
Alongside my work as a creator, I’ve spent over a decade as an educator teaching courses in cinematography, video editing, sound design, visual effects, and media studies in higher education. This experience has profoundly influenced my creative philosophy, rooted in the belief that creativity is not just about making—it’s about pursuing your passion and turning passion into purpose. I encourage my students to think critically, experiment boldly, and embrace unconventional ideas. Through mentoring and teaching, I’ve had the privilege of inspiring countless students to discover their creative voices and chart their paths in the dynamic world of media.
Ultimately, I remain dedicated to fostering a new creative language—one where music, experimental cinema, and emerging media platforms combine to inspire, challenge, and transform how we experience stories. I continuously push beyond established conventions—turning sound into immersive storytelling, visual media into transformative experiences, and every new tool or platform into a catalyst for reimagining what’s possible in art and education.
