teemchase is the founder of ITTO Productions, an artist development company. He is also an investor in real estate, music, and crypto. His journey has been one of overcoming obstacles, including homelessness, to reach financial independence.

A Difficult Start to His Future Success

At eighteen, teemchase began his journey toward future success by choosing not to attend college and instead pursue real estate. This decision led him to live in his car, but he did not let that setback discourage him from his goal. Without family support, he continued pursuing his dream of becoming a real estate entrepreneur.

He studied for the real estate exam while homeless and invested nearly one thousand dollars in taking it eleven times. Instead of giving up, he took the test a twelfth time and finally passed. That victory became the foundation for his capital building journey. Without outside support or investors, he built his portfolio over time through discipline, persistence, and reinvestment.

He built a brand, grew his team, and reinvested profits into acquiring affordable housing and Section 8 properties. Later, he expanded into large scale private real estate investing. Through discipline, long term strategy, and aggressive reinvestment, he evolved from agent to investor.

It was this same strategy that he later applied to his ventures in crypto and music.

Long Term Positioning and Growth

In the summer of 2025, teemchase formally retired from all active executive operations. He sold his controlling interests and transitioned into a fully passive income structure fueled by consulting, real estate cash flow, and digital asset holdings.

In 2018, teemchase became an early investor in XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by Ripple Labs for rapid, low cost international payments. He has grown his original investment more than ten times and continues to trade actively.

He also entered the music industry through organic beginnings that started with informal freestyle sessions with friends. This experience later led him to found ITTO Productions.

Empowering Creators

ITTO Productions was designed to empower artists by providing the infrastructure typically associated with major labels, including production and lifestyle resources. He has also ensured that artists retain ownership of their creative works.

Looking ahead, teemchase plans to scale his passive investments and expand ITTO Productions. The creator first artist development house reflects his personal priorities of ownership, fairness, and long term sustainability.

teemchase is an inspirational yet grounded investor who has built an impressive brand across multiple fields using his high school nickname. Over the years, he has blended his desire for social impact with a scalable investment strategy. His perseverance, discipline, and creativity have been the foundation of his success and will power his future endeavors.

Breakthrough band and creators of “Cabana Bounce,” Vale! ULB release their latest single, “Devórame.” A musical testament to freedom of expression, the upbeat record invites listeners to lose their inhibitions, let down their hair, and dance.

The union of five musicians, each expert in their craft, Vale! ULB is a dynamic band focused on the Latin diaspora. The group is comprised of individuals from Cuba, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, and New Orleans via Mexico. Through their diverse and creative individualism, the members come together to create musical art beyond the power of one.

Leading the band on vocals is Val, the daughter of Latin Grammy winner, musician, and producer, Dante Vargas. Three-time Grammy winner Deezle (of Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj fame) adds depth with his bass, vocals, and production. Grammy-winning trumpeter, Emiliano, takes brass to new heights. Cuban percussionist and champion of Fiesta del Tambor (Cuba’s Festival of Drum), Anier, sets the beat. Lastly, Friki, son of the founder of Buena Vista Social Club, rounds up the sound with his expert guitar.

With over 20 years of professional experience, each member is seasoned in the industry, with a portfolio of sound unique to each. For Deezle, joining the band was a logical choice for working alongside industry greats. “What kept me going is that I never gave up and have the blessing of being around people like Carlos [our manager] and others in the business who keep going. I can’t forsake that,” shares Deezle.

A delicious mix of Latin core, New Orleans soul, and modern hip hop, the music of Vale! ULB is a showcase of “Cabana Bounce,” the band’s signature sound. While based across the U.S., the band comes together monthly to collaborate on new work. According to their manager, Carlos, “It’s the mashing and mixing of different music that makes this band super special.”

Their new single, “Devórame,” captures the power of being wanted and not being afraid to ask for what you want. “It’s a genre-bending single about the freedom of being sexy,” shares Manager Carlos. “Devórame” undoubtedly captures the voice of each band member, from the catchy opening notes to the smooth vocals weaving stories into sound.

“Devórame” was a “cool experiment that went right,” the brainchild of Deezle with contributions from each talented band member. “The band is very chill in the studio,” adds Deezle. “Everyone knows when to switch and take lead. There’s all sorts of personalities in one room, yet there’s no tension. Everyone does their own part.”

Vale! ULB hopes to reach listeners who are ready to let go of their inhibitions. “The song is about freedom of expression,” explains the band, who welcomes listeners to let loose and give in to the music. “You gotta let go when you hear the music.”

In addition to performing, Vale! ULB gives back in New Orleans through the Trombone Shorty Foundation, which seeks to mentor aspiring musicians and provide them with instruments and opportunities.
