President | Chairman
Owner
The Ace is the true visionary behind the Tupac Hologram Illusion Design directly for the Estate. He took his vision to the Tupac Estate in 2011, & pitched the concept, along with the technology design, to Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur. History was made at Coachella Festival in 2012, with the financial support of Dr. Dre. That event changed the landscape of virtual technology & how it would be invested across multiple applications. Dream No More Studios was born; The Ace & his partners took over the holographic illusion content creation space. The Ace's next vision is the conversion of mass media on the back of AR, VR, & Holographic virtual platforms.
