Villain Origin Stories is a long-form interview series hosted by artist and creator TK, featuring artists, thinkers, and cultural figures confronting the catalyzing experiences that shaped them. Each conversation traces the wounds, choices, contradictions, relationships, and survival mechanisms behind the person the world sees today.

The series exists within DARKSIDE, TK’s larger musical and narrative universe. Each guest is being considered for entry into DARKSIDE, and organization with a mission to transform humanity. Prospects are challenged to face the parts of themselves they conceal, take accountability for the role they have played in their own story, and determine whether they are willing to transform their darkness into something purposeful.

These are not traditional interviews built around polished biographies or surface-level success. They are interrogations of identity, morality, pain, ambition, healing, and the moments that permanently alter a life.

Every villain has an origin story.
