ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, a song-writer, and I have itchy feet every six months. I love the calmness of being on the road, having no plans, and no urgency to get anywhere. I love experiences, and all experiences become stories in my head that then sometimes become songs. I was a journalist for seven years, but quit to become a full-time musician in 2012.

Now I have a funk band, a solo acoustic project, as well as an experimental electronic act.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
