John Dill is a multidisciplinary artist, graphic designer, and famed DJ whose distinctive illustration style has never been shown to the world quite like this. In this deeply personal conversation, John traces the winding path that shaped his art and identity — from a life-threatening eye injury in Bali that left him temporarily blind and rebuilding his vision from scratch, to a mysterious, faceless entity he encountered deep in the desert at Burning Man that would go on to define his entire visual language. John opens up about burning out after a decade of New York nightlife, becoming a self-described "hermit," and the years of meditation, plant medicine, and daily drawing practice that helped him process trauma and discover a creative voice he never knew he had. He also shares stories from his upcoming Burning Man art installation — a 10-foot wooden keyhole sculpture 13 years in the making — plus the chaos, humor, and heart behind a life spent chasing flow state, whether behind the decks or with a pen in hand.John is also an incredible videographer who has shot and directed many of my music videos! A conversation about art, identity, loss, and the strange magic of finding your medium later in life.Love you brother Dill thank you!

Hailing from Detroit, music producer and instrumentalist Danny Shamoun blends his Middle Eastern roots into Mesopotamian house music and ethereal meditation soundscapes. Trained in Near Eastern classical music under Dr. A. J. Racy at UCLA, Danny has recorded and toured with System of a Down and Scars on Broadway, and his 2020 meditative piece "Deep Thoughts" has surpassed 12 million streams. In this conversation, Danny traces his journeyfrom a kid drumming on his teeth to fall asleep, to discovering the ney — a reed flute so difficult that 99% of people who try never make a sound. He opens up about the state of pure nothingness he enters when performing, how ancestralfrequencies may be encoded in our DNA, and a transformative sound meditation that left him reborn as an artist. Along the way: stories of touring with System of a Down, meeting Robert Plant in a backyard, the cosmic poetry of OmarKhayyam, and why the best memories are the ones you never filmed. This is one for the music heads! Thank you Danny! https://www.instagram.com/shamoun_music/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/ https://www.instagram.com/oneoverinfinitypodcast/

Yasmina Ksikes is a food alchemist, a culinary artist who, in the words of David Lynch, "brings joy with her food and luxuriates in the cooking process." Born in Rabat and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, Yasmina was nurtured by a household rich in spices, music, and great food. Her mother and grandmothers, teachers by tradition, passed down the sacred rituals of Moroccan cooking. They inspired her not just to cook, but mostly how to infuse food with spirit, joy, and devotion. In this conversation, Yasmina opens up about the philosophy behind her art — how she surrenders to ingredients rather than controlling them, how she finds the divine in the creative process, and how cooking became her language for connection, love, and letting go. We talk about impermanence, motherhood, prayer versus manifestation, trauma, destiny, and what it means to live fully present in each fleeting moment. Yasmina is one deep person, a wise soul and friend who generously shared her wisdom and her process with me here. Thank you Yasmina! https://www.instagram.com/lallamina_la/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic

Shannon Lee — writer, producer, CEO of Bruce Lee Enterprises and chairperson of the board of directors of the Bruce Lee Foundation— sits down for a rare, deeply personal conversation about her spiritual journey, her father's legacy and the philosophy that saved her life which came from reading an unpublished Bruce Lee quote: "The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning, but I didn't take it." That moment cracked her open — and sent her on a decades-long path of healing, self-discovery, and deep inquiry into what it really means to live. In this episode, we explore Shannon’s deep mind and her unique interpretations of her father’s philosophies appliedto today’s life. We also dig into Bruce Lee's lesser-known quotes on will, art, the soul, and the oneness of all life — and Shannon breaks each one of them down in a way you've never heard before. This one will give you goosebumps as it did me. Thank You Shannon https://www.instagram.com/therealshannonlee/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/

Trevor Tuttle has spent decades at the intersection of story and technology — building creatures for George Lucas, designing theme park experiences, pioneering virtual production — all while hiding behind the dazzle. In this conversation, Trevor gets honest about what it means to step out of spectacle and into something real. We talk about trading people-pleasing for purpose, the three-part framework of war, commitment, and resolve, why conscious artists can't afford to walk away from AI, and what it looks like to finally ask yourself what you actually want. This one goes deep. https://www.trevortuttle.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/

Suuvi is a Cuban-Chinese multidisciplinary artist, composer, producer, creative technologist, and speaker working at the intersection of electronic music, contemporary composition, and immersive storytelling. From 16 years of conservatory training and a Juilliard education, to a 10-day silent meditation retreat where she started hearing phantom cello in complete darkness, to becoming artist-in-residence at the San Francisco Conservatory after a chance encounter at a wine dinner — Suuvi's path has been anything but linear. In this conversation, we get into her album Dark Therapy , the neuroscience of music and the brain, what it actually means to process darkness (literally and figuratively), the sunk cost fallacy of a classical career, seven years of being single and what that taught her, and why she believes softness is the greatest strength. We also talk about flow states, Muay Thai, Dostoevsky, the Mandy Moore story, and whether music and magic share the same root word. A wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about art, suffering, and what it takes to finally find your own voice. https://www.instagram.com/callmesuuvi https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic

This week's guest is Astra — a composer, sound alchemist, and producer who has spent years working in 432Hz tuning, crafting ambient music rooted in sacred geometry, solfeggio tones, and the healing frequencies of the chakras. His music has moved millions of listeners organically, without a label or marketing budget — just pure resonance. In this conversation we go deep. We talk about the spiritual nature of music, the discipline of making music 12 hours a day every single day, and what it actually means to clear your energy when other people's emotions get tangled with yours. We also get into some of the biggest questions — are we God disguising itself from itself just to have an experience? Can music still change the world? And what does it feel like when a piece of music is finally right? A conversation about sound, spirit, and showing up for your art. https://www.instagram.com/echoesofstarlight/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/

In this episode, we sit down with filmmaker and musician Ari Gold for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation that touches on art, grief, spirituality, and the transformative power of storytelling. Ari shares the journey behind his new single-shot film Brother Verses Brother — an intimate, real-time odyssey through the streets of San Francisco with his identical twin, searching for music, love, and their 99-year-old father. He also opens up about Helicopter , his decade-in-the-making documentary about processing the death of his mother through a psychomagic ritual prescribed by legendary director Alejandro Jodorowsky. We talk about what it means to truly experience art versus merely consume it, why specificity is the key to universality, the creative flow state and what it feels like when something takes over, and bending reality itself. A conversation about loss, healing, and why art — at its deepest — is an act of lighting people up. https://www.instagram.com/arigold/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/

In this episode, I sit down with Pierre Perifel — director of the Dreamworks animated features The Bad Guys 1 & 2 , and one of the most soulful storytellers working in animation today. Pierre went from a small town in Burgundy, France to the halls of DreamWorks, and his journey is as layered as the films he makes. We get into why great animation can hit deeper than live action, how he embeds real societal themes — like reinsertion after prison — into family films, and what it actually feels like when years of craft finally become a creative language you can speak fluently. We also go deep on consciousness, manifesting, the Akashic records, what it means to be made of stardust, and why the universe might be more magical than science wants to admit. This one's for the artists, the dreamers, and anyone who's ever made something and wondered if it matters. Thank you so much Pierre for opening your heart and mind to us in this incredibly honest talk! https://www.instagram.com/pierreperifel https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic
