Dabbling in production work...

born in the late 70s, raised in ghana, grew up hearing reggae, hip hop, hi life, traditional ensembles, soul, r+b, jazz, soca, dancehall and the church music. Hip hop and soul became the sounds of choice and that path lead to an interest in music.

this manipulation of objects - analog, digital, inanimate and human; to produce melodic sound vibrations is ubiquitous in the earth story according to men/women/children.
