Willonius “King Willonius” Hatcher is a modern Renaissance man whose work at the intersection of comedy, technology, and cultural storytelling has positioned him as one of the most exciting creators of our time. Recognized as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People in AI, he has become a trailblazer, seamlessly blending humor with cutting-edge technology to redefine what it means to entertain, inspire, and innovate.

Hatcher’s rise to prominence began with his viral hit “BBL DRIZZY,” a hilarious AI-generated song that captivated millions and showcased his unique ability to merge pop culture with groundbreaking AI tools. His critically acclaimed comedy album UNSerious, produced by Grammy Award-winner Om’Mas Keith, solidified his reputation as a masterful creator who can fuse sharp wit with soulful melodies. With standout tracks like “BBL DRIZZY,” “Black Jobs,” and “Hawk Tuah,” the album serves as both a comedic and cultural statement, pushing the boundaries of what comedy and music can achieve together.

At the heart of King Willonius’s success is his relentless pursuit of innovation. A self-taught coder with a deep passion for technology, he sees AI not just as a tool but as a means of creative empowerment. By leveraging this technology, Hatcher has developed a rich portfolio of work, including AI-driven films, audio dramas, and music, each one a testament to his ability to turn bold ideas into reality. His career highlights include creating interactive storytelling experiences like The Young and The Thirsty on Clubhouse and participating in prestigious conferences such as SXSW, TEDx, and the MIT Reality Hack, where he has inspired audiences with his vision for the future of art and technology.

Hatcher’s commitment to his craft goes beyond personal achievement. He is a tireless advocate for underrepresented voices in the creative industries, particularly within Black communities. By using AI to amplify marginalized perspectives, he is breaking barriers and inspiring a new generation of creators to dream bigger and reach farther. For Hatcher, AI is more than a creative medium—it’s a form of cultural reparations, a way to open doors for those who have long been excluded from the mainstream.

Despite his technical expertise, King Willonius remains deeply rooted in comedy, his first love. As a stand-up comedian, he draws from his sharp observational humor and fearless storytelling to engage audiences on stage and beyond. His comedic style, influenced by legends like Paul Mooney and Dave Chappelle, is incisive, thought-provoking, and unafraid to tackle complex topics with a touch of levity.

King Willonius’s creative journey is not just about entertaining audiences—it’s about reshaping the cultural landscape. Whether through his visionary use of AI, his dedication to crafting high-quality comedy, or his mission to uplift others, he is a leader who is not content to follow trends. Instead, he sets them, driving forward new possibilities in the arts and technology.

As a digital architect, futurist, and cultural innovator, Willonius Hatcher is building bridges between comedy, music, and technology. His work is a celebration of creativity without limits, a testament to the power of imagination, and a bold call to embrace the future with open minds and open hearts. He isn’t just chasing the next big thing—he is the force creating it, inspiring us all to laugh, dream, and believe in what’s possible

Hello! I’m Chelsea.

As an artist, I have a passion for helping others unlock their creativity and heal through expression. After working as a technical writer for 40+ hours each week and experiencing severe burnout symptoms, including being hospitalized for debilitating stomach pain, I’ve lived and learned the power of healing through creative expression. My art has become far more than works that hang on walls, and instead, is a living practice that fuels my well-being and health.

In 2020 I began leading group workshops teaching free-flow painting as a well-being modality. Since I have combined these practices with somatic healing and trauma healing tools I’ve learned to begin developing a more comprehensive framework for cultivating wellbeing through creative expression.

I’m currently developing programs designed to help high-achieving solopreneurs and entrepreneurs heal burnout and revive the passion they started their businesses with. It’s my mission to share creativity as a healing and mental health support modality we can all access to feel our most alive and thrive.

A little about me, personally, and the art I create:

I love plants, animals, food, and creativity. Art is so much more than something we hang on our walls. To create and express is to allow life force to move through us. The whimsical animal and nature paintings I create are intended to light up our souls and bring nature’s medicine into our homes. My personal training in BioGeometry (a science of environmental harmonizing and qualitative physics) also inspires my work.

As a Fort Collins native, I’m proud to call this beautiful land home, where I enjoy gardening barefoot, cozy evenings by the fire with my love, and playing with my precious dog, Bubba Blue. Traveling across the states, volunteering in the Amazon rainforest, growing up on a farm, and still a farm kid at heart, my biggest inspiration is nature and the miraculous life force that illuminates us all.
