I am founder of Hip Hop Saves Lives, a non profit that teaches humanity through Hip Hop. We do this because the TRUE definition of Hip Hop is PEACE LOVE UNITY AND HAVING FUN! I lived in NYC and Brooklyn for 18 years and this past Nov 2016 relocated to East Africa. I am now traveling across Europe recording an international album about the Gang Peace Treaty that birthed the culture of Hip Hop. We have met with artists in Germany, The Netherlands, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and now going to Portugal, Spain and Italy. We use Hip Hop to educate youth on social issues through the works of everyday heroes and help them write and record songs about what they have learned. Here is an example of our work. This song is about an organization that brings street musicians together through music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0wZ7De5_0I

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals, learn languages and better understand the culture of places I am considering to live. I also work with youth, street youth and music artists all over the globe so I am always looking to connect and share knowledge and record music.
