The Knockturnal attended Casa CeCe as I continue celebrating my birthday and embracing the intensity of Scorpio Season—a time when culmination and transformation lead to new experiences. There’s no better place than New York City for magic and revelation, and on November 29th, 2025, Casa CeCe officially steps into the nightlife scene as the city’s newest fusion of supperclub, immersive theatre, and late-night escape.
The Knockturnal was invited to experience something fresh. The Blue Table Series Vol. 01, an exclusive collaboration between Manchester City and Mundial Partners, was created to re-imagine how we experience the definitely not your go-to bar-style football watch party. It was a curated experience that merged culture, all things football, and fashion into one unforgettable morning.
New York, NY — The Knockturnal was grateful to attend an intimate listening session inside the walls of Smash Studios at 307 West 36th Street, where a select gathering of radio promoters, writers, label executives, and lovers of good news came together to celebrate Jekalyn Carr’s newest album, The Legends. Hosted by Hassan James of Root Magazine, the evening was more than a preview — it was a spiritual encounter layered with reverence, joy, and divine purpose.
On Saturday, October 25th, I celebrated my birthday in a way that felt both intimate and intentional, solo, reflective, and surrounded by the kind of warmth you can only find in Harlem. The air was crisp, the city was humming, and I found myself at PB Brasserie, a French, Senegalese, and Tanzanian restaurant quietly redefining Harlem dining culture.
At the Kumble Theatre, the Women’s International Music Network (WiMN) and the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment hosted She Rocks: From Inspiration to Track, an evening of live performance, creative dialogue, and empowerment featuring Divinity Roxx, Morgan James, Miette Hope, and Aijia.

The Knockturnal was invited to attend an exclusive evening at Amali NYC, celebrating the launch of Ja Rule’s new whiskey brand, Amber & Opal. The night was a masterclass in what happens when authenticity meets elegance, a curated blend of conversation, culture, and craft that felt very New York.
I was sitting outside Little Mercado after an event when I looked up and there walking toward me was Austen Cox, a creative director with an eye for visual storytelling and culinary culture. He said hello, and that simple moment sparked the beginning of our creative friendship and journey.
It’s been two weeks since Jamz & Conversation, yet the energy from that night at City Winery still resonates deeply. What unfolded wasn’t just a concert; it was an experience rooted in legacy, storytelling, and the timeless power of authentic music.
