About Me

MySpace LayoutsLIFE is a wonderful gift, and i prefer to not waste any of it. experience and experimentation are the keys to my existence. without seeing where our boundaries lie, how would we ever find out what is actually possible. my mother told me over and over as a child, "you can do anything you put your mind to, nothing is impossible" probably the best thing anybody can be told. since then i've overcome dyslexia, been published in major magazines and now am soley responsible for documenting a living legends process and practise of making records, and doing it in an innovative way. I believe that above all we are all connected by tiny vibrating waves of life, and we should do everything we can to enrich the life around us. L I V E I T!
