Musician by day, web developer by night... or something like that. I perform as Baze Blackwood, RILEMOB and run a record label/publishing co. called DNote. Finishing a degree in Musicology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to teach, learn, share, and especially travel—that's the dream!

Hoping to see more of the world and the people in it.

Interests

Can cook most types of meals, happy to share that talent with hosts (and clean up too). Music is always on my mind! If you want to sing songs or jam together, I'm game.

I'm into tech, but not a tech person, if that makes sense. I don't think we can really change the world with tech, except in ways that are wholly unpredictable and usually bad. That said, I'm carving out a niche in music technology that I think will be helpful to some people, at least.
