About

As CEO and Creative Director, Allen (formerly known as Erk tha Jerk in the hip-hop scene) has transformed from musician to multifaceted creative entrepreneur, offering services spanning brand development, music production, graphic design, and strategic consultation.

The Oakland-based collective operates as a full-service creative house with expertise in visual arts, music production, event creation, and brand strategy. Allen's vision for Grand Nationxl goes beyond typical agency work, emphasizing community building and artist wellness as core principles, with the collective functioning as both a business entity and a supportive ecosystem for creatives.
