About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Touring the Midwest and Northeast with Happy tooth & Dug from Columbus. Might need last minute lodging between Minneapolis and Chicago July 5th through the 7th for three respectful adult rap musicians.

ABOUT ME

Friendly, helpful, easy to get along with, VERY into good food and conversation. I do not have any personal space or consent issues. No racist/classist/misogynist/homophobic tendencies. I rap. I rap pretty well, actually, but I'm pretty sure anyone who makes hip hop music says that. I make socially conscious progressive grunge rap or whatever. It's great. I like rapping. If you're into indie rap I like to think of myself as somewhere between Eyedea and Buck 65 style-wise.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a self identified pantheist so I see the entirety of existence as being of a singular consciousness. Basically I feel we are all facets of the same gem experiencing our true selves with the exchanging of experiences. Nothing matters more to me than having new experiences and meeting new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Last year I lived in West Virginia I worked 2 hours away in Baltimore, MD and I couch surfed during the week, though always within my network. I have also hosted a number of traveling musicians over the years as a musician myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent 5 days in a tree meditating. I didn't speak or eat the whole 5 days and only drank from a 2 gallon water jug I dragged up with me. I slept a little. It was pretty intense by the end of the second day, by the end of the 4th I felt amazing. Really transformative experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel that my personal path to enlightenment, and perhaps the path of many others, is one of eternal appreciation. I try to appreciate the beauty and power in every small detail I can at every possible moment. It not only keeps me grounded, but keeps me feeling connected to just about everything that's worth feeling connected to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Raps, hugs, stories, high fives, household chores.
