“I think that it is a useful skill for anyone to adopt the ability to pivot,” says Leacock, who ditched the DJ decks one night to man the grill for a dinner inspired by his Trinidadian restaurant, Clyde’s Caribbean.
For Jillionaire (real name Christopher Leacock), the idea of “switching” between multiple jobs and mediums is something he’s learned to love - and embrace. The nights wound down with live music, dancing and fireworks as the waves from the Sea of Cortez lapped languishingly below.Īmong the talent at The Cape’s “Switching Gears” event was the DJ and producer Jillionaire, who pulled double duty, not just as a DJ, but as a private chef for one of the night’s culinary activations. Afternoons were spent learning to sketch live models and sampling wares from local artisans, while every evening featured a celebrity chef creating “gastronomic experiences” that ranged from local Mexican cuisine to international-inspired fare (think Japanese fusion and a Mexican spin on classic Indian dishes). The theme also extended to the talent on hand, with mixologists tasked with cooking lunch, elite athletes learning to draw, and DJs masquerading as chefs for the night.Īgainst the sweeping backdrop of the beachfront Cabo San Lucas property, guests dabbled in everything from cocktail making to pottery classes to surf-inspired morning workouts. The four-day event saw both hotel guests and invited celebrities participating in a series of programs that challenged them to explore new experiences in music, food, surf and art. Across the continent and down the Baja California coast, guests were invited to step outside their comfort zone recently at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel’s second-annual “Switching Gears” event.
