About Me

I am a singer-songwriter; I have been able to do this from an early age inside of a talented creative family. Family is the core of my life, they bring me understanding and comfort, love second only to God's. The songs i have been writing over the last year have reflected alot of what has happened around me and my family. Everyday on the news blood sheds in the outside world when we go to war which brings nothing good, only famine, poverty and somebody losing someone they love somehow, im writing about LOVE and WAR. Even though last year has been one i'd rather forget, there's been something saying to keep my faith and not give up. Life has a way of giving it to you all at once, when it rains it can sure pour, some doors opening and some closing. Whatever happens i find we only have faith our comforter to get us through, and the message. The body of a story to tell we all have of truth.

My Interests

Im a bit of day dreamer im always looking into nothing. Stars and galaxy gazing, looking at and observing nature is all good, you could say im a bit of a bush man!

I'd like to meet:

My Maker

Music:

I grew up on music from the West Indies with my father being a record producer from Saint Vincent working with various Calypso, Soca and Reggae Artist's. Im very open eared, theres not much music i dislike, although i do prefer to listen to old soul, Ray Charles or Marvin Gaye for example. I also listen to alot of music from around the world , like traditional Afrikan music, styles and ryhthms that date back thousands of years. Anything with substance.

Movies:

If it can make you cry with laughter its good, stupid stuff makes me laugh, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrel, are legends. As for serious flicks, i find when i watch movies made from real life expeiriences the results can be quite shocking, Cry Freedom, Hotel Rwanda, Shindlers List to name a few.

Television:

Once again the comidies reign! Def Comedy Jam series, Only fools and horses, That 70's show (i cant belive i admitted to that one whew!) Ok i think im on good terms to open up with you now, i... watched... with real enthusiasm... THE X FACTOR... i know, i need help mann! if anyone knows someone let me know. Thanx

Books:

Recently i picked up on reading the autobiographies of musicians i picked up Ray Charles' the other day.

Heroes:

Patriots of life such as Steve Biko, whom ever lost their life to save others from being oppressed is my hero, and there are many. As for musical heroes Ray Charles, he went through alot and came up on top, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, these guys knows the groove of soul.
