About Me

CURRENT MISSION

nada brahma, practicing the art of becoming sound

ABOUT ME

Singer/songwriter/guitarist/drummer/percussionist. Funk/soul/jazz/world. Currently studying traditional West African rhythms. I am a vegetarian, not much of a drinker, non-smoker, (occasional partier), I love the forests, the trees, the mountains and oceans and streams, and the sounds of nature. I am a low maintenence traveler, mostly content to explore on my own, but I love to interact with locals, and meet like minded people when I travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom, truth, and love are synonymous and in the best interests of all. Joy, peace and harmony is our natural state. Political theater seems to exist to distract us from this truth. Music and dance are a fine remedy to this situation.
Everything becomes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandering randomnly for hours and hours in the mountains of Honduras, through some indigenous villages near Las Ruinas, deep off the map, meeting the most wonderful amable y tranquilo people, sharing fresh coffee and bread, playing futbol con los ninos, and sleeping alone atop the mountain with views of the ruins and the town in the distance, under the watch of millions of stars; squatted in Manuel Noriega's vacant bullet hole ridden beach house in Panama,
