About Me

NEW YORKER - that pretty much sums it up. Proud of where I was born and where I really come from. First generation Colombian, born and raised in Queens, NY. A product of Colombia and everything the Big Apple has to offer. I live for MUSIC and hope to make it a bigger part of my life as career. I wake up to a song in my head everyday. Music is my drug, my obsession, especially any and all Afro Cuban rhythms and sounds and will search high and low for the best music til I find it. Love all things beautiful- music, art, dance, and women...Theres a lot I want to get done and Im slowing working at all of it - getting my foot into the music industry, writing down all these stories in my head and turning them into screenplays, and just travelling anywhere I havent been to...Just a laid back cat that loves a good time with his people and is down for whatever, whenever. I love my family and friends and will do absolutely anything I can for them. I try not to be serious unless I absolutely have to. Prankster. Always in search of something new to add to my life...Very honest, sincere, straight up. Ill tell it to you how it is. No bullshit with me, just a good fucking time. You wont ever see me turn down a drink either. It just tastes too good when it hits my lips...

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, a few in particular. You know who you are. Strangers, New partners in crime, or just anyone with something to say. Not looking to date and get all mushy and shit online, but drop a line if you like...Saleros, Soneros, Rumberos, people to talk MUSIC with, Mamboniks, a dance partner, musicheads whoever. Theres no template, just dont be lame or complain and nag. The more spontaneous, the better. Be open for anything to happen at anytime...Come to think of it, I would like to meet the new Superhero from the Heineken commercial that turns his shoe into a beer...If there were ever a way to bring back Tito Puente, I would like to meet him one more time to tell him how much my life changed after this night in 1992.
