About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek out new life and new civilization, to boldly jam with music genres with which I have never jammed before...

ABOUT ME

Been working in Singapore in a chronobiology lab (sleep lab)and using Singapore as a home base for traveling. Quiet but not shy, some have confused me with being the latter. Vegetarian...though I do eat seafood from time to time...sucker for sushi actually...but no pork, chicken, beef..etc, though I have no problem sharing a meal with those who are not vegetarian. Pretty laid back but up for anything and ready to try new things. Constantly have music in my head. Looking forward to meeting new people and going on adventures...since I have begun to travel around Asia I realize, I know nothing. Currently on a mission to find a Flamenco school or Flamenco guitar teacher in Andalucia to sharpen my skills.

PHILOSOPHY

"Have a good time, all the time."

Been able to live off performing and teaching guitar in Paris...without proper documentation...

Teach, Learn, Share

Been playing drums and guitar for years and have taught independently everywhere I went. If you are interested I would be willing to give some lessons if I happen to crash at your place, since I will be travelling with my guitar.
Always up for jamming with anyone too!
Also looking for language exchange, especially French and ASL, starting to get rusty.
Self defense moves, martial arts techniques.
