ABOUT ME

Music Fiend! hip hop, rock, electronic, classic rock, flamenco, booty shaken, and on and on. ill admit it, i pretty much become a moth when i hear music. Fan of basketball, track and field and soccer when the mood is right.

Fairly easy goin. in a nutshell, i plan not to have plans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

most amazing thing ive seen so far are my own dreams that have become reality... given it took 6 years of dreaming, but great things can happen (might wanna inquiry about that story). 2011 I represented the USA as an international art performer. I ran on top of a flipped tank and people took pictures of me. Sweet feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

i like to share music. at times, ive been caught giving guitar and piano lessons (who knows, you might learn something from me!)
