COEXIST Gaming
Jaye "Letta J" Watts is a Grammy Nominated recording artist & songwriter, Electrical Engineer by study and builder of community who has been writing music, playing musical instruments and video games since she was 4 years old. She wanted to enable her love for music, gaming and tech to coexist and built the largest gaming community on the East Coast through grassroots community events. Disrupting old models and breaking boundaries to create new ones, she opened the first co-working video game, bar & lounge steps from Times Square. An inclusive brand, Coexist Gaming’s goal is to highlight opportunity within the gaming and tech industry and create pipelines for creatives and tech minds to create IP and be more than just consumers. The ecosystem she built is full of programs, classes and workshops powered by professionals within the community, and the Coexist GameHouse gives their members access to amenities like a music studio, podcast areas, green screens, high fidelity serving screen monitors, white boards and meeting spaces. They have built thousands of games through their incubator and will be opening new locations in territories across the country and internationally.
