In a world where artificial intelligence increasingly sparks fear among creative professionals, an unlikely alliance has emerged between one of hip-hop's most influential behind-the-scenes figures and cutting-edge AI technology. Found Luggage AI Creative Studio, launching today, brings together legendary creative director ReggieKnow, myself David Borish, and industry veteran Phillip Leeds to merge the world of AI and creative production.
The studio's launch follows the premier of "The Tik Tok Tic Virus," the first fully produced AI parody that demonstrated the powerful fusion of human creativity and artificial intelligence. The project, which would have traditionally required six months and a seven-figure budget, was completed in just two months and a very small budget through the innovative use of AI tools including Runway , Kling AI, Luma AI, and Mystic AI in Magnific AI, and Flux 1.1 Pro.
For ReggieKnow, whose influential career includes launching Sprite's "Obey Your Thirst" campaign and collaborating with luxury fashion houses, embracing AI wasn't an immediate decision. Known as the "secret weapon" for creatives like Virgil Abloh and Kanye West, ReggieKnow built his reputation on authentic representation of hip-hop culture in advertising and fashion.
"The intersection of AI and creativity isn't about replacement—it's about amplification," says co-founder David Borish, who recently delivered a keynote titled "Creative Renaissance: Why AI Sparks a New Era for Creatives" at Cornell University's Imagine AI Live. "ReggieKnow's journey from skepticism to embracement of AI mirrors the larger transformation happening in the creative industry."
Co-founder Phillip Leeds brings his own impressive credentials to the venture, having spent more than a decade as a key member of Pharrell Williams' core team, where he helped build and manage the legendary artist's music and fashion empires. This combination of creative leadership—Leeds' industry expertise, Borish's technological vision, and ReggieKnow's creative genius—forms the foundation of Found Luggage's unique approach.
The studio's inaugural project brought together an impressive roster of talent, including viral AI creator Willonius Hatcher (@KingWillionius), Grammy Award-winning producer Lenny Skolnik (@YungSpielberg), and AI video expert Luis Riancho (@Techhalla) as well as professional singer Vanessa Tzavellas (@vievanessamusic) for the human vocals and female voices, which were still needed to get the perfect cadence. This collaboration exemplifies Found Luggage's approach: merging established creative expertise with cutting-edge AI capabilities.
Found Luggage AI Creative Studio aims to work with traditional studios and brands, offering a unique blend of proven creative excellence and advanced AI tools. The studio represents a new paradigm in creative production, where technology enhances rather than replaces human creativity. This approach echoes the founders' shared commitment to authenticity while embracing the possibilities of the future.
The launch comes at a time when the creative industry grapples with AI's role in content creation. Found Luggage positions itself as a bridge between traditional creative excellence and technological innovation, promising to maintain the cultural authenticity that has defined its founders' work while leveraging AI to expand creative possibilities and efficiency.
For creatives concerned about AI's impact on their industry, Found Luggage offers a compelling vision of the future—one where human creativity and artificial intelligence work in harmony to push the boundaries of what's possible. The studio is now accepting project inquiries at FoundLuggage.info, marking the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new chapter in creative production.
As the careers of ReggieKnow, Leeds, and Borish have shown, authenticity and innovation can coexist. Found Luggage AI Creative Studio now stands ready to write the next chapter in this ongoing story, proving that the creative renaissance isn't just coming—it's already here.
