About Me

I collect vinyl records — jazz, psychedelic rock, funk, hip hop, soul.
I draw what I see when I travel.
I prefer real places (even if they’re not “beautiful”) over touristy spots — though I visit those too.
I play jazz piano and have composed some demos. I'm currently working on a new music project — more R&B than jazz.
I'm a philosophy and history enthusiast.
Open-minded and always open to new experiences and perspectives.
