About Me

I'm a performer and Director of a NFP Arts Organization called "Elastic Arts Foundation". We're based in Chicago, IL. We've been operating as a group since 1998. I've been an actor, poet, rapper, teacher & all around lover of the Arts since I was a yung buck! I joined/formed Elastic so that young/underserved artists on the scene have an outlet that was unavailable to me when I was coming up. I also want to have a venue to perform my work w/o all the BS that tends to go w/ the "bar/club" scene. Holla if you hear me!
