the bio

Quddus is a sound facilitator and psychedelic guide. Surrounded by the instruments he calls his “bandmates”, Q offers individuals and groups a life-changing experience called Sound Sanctuary. He started his career as a campus radio DJ and then made a quantum leap into becoming a host of MTV’s hit show, Total Request Live. Inspired by his impact, TIME Magazine called Quddus “one of pop culture’s foremost tastemakers.”

After serving as a creative director at Myspace where he worked in artist development, he felt inspired to launch his program, The Creator Incubator. Eventually, after a shamanic training, he also felt the calling to facilitate with sound and psychedelics. He proceeded to study under two of the best sound practitioners in the world and now he’s paying it forward by teaching others on the same path as the founder of Sound Sanctuary Academy.
