About Me

I have always defined myself on the creative, avant Garde side of life. Conformity has never been a priority. Expression of that which has been expressed with my own unique flava' seems to be of my true will. I have taken classes at Jazz Summer Camps with top Jazz Educators, like David Baker who trained Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, and the guy who was an early influence no the man Miles Davis, Clark Terry at his Jazz Camp (were I attended with the contemporary Jazz Saxaphone great, Jaleel Shaw) at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse in 1994. This was the summer before Clark played with the Digable Planets on the Grammys. I since then have taken a strong interest in the wide world of Electronic Dance Music by going to Midwest-Chicago Raves, Drop Bass Network Raves and Chicago Clubs back in the day. I am addicted to house music! Other forms of expressing myself I find enjoyable such as comedy improv acting and dancing. I have taken a little training for improv at Chicago's Second City. I also have an interest in popping and house dancing and have kicked it with crews like S. Korea's Gorilla's Crew and XTC Crew. I also have a strong interest in the Occult. I am into qaballah, enochiana, chaos magick, voodoo, etc. I feel that music has the ability to stimulate certain parts of the neurology especially if one adds in psionics, to create an experience of "opening certain astral realms" which can be experienced as colors (a form of synesthesia). This seems to be a secret of the rave scene. As Nicholas Hall states in "Chaos and Sorcery" that the raised energies of acid house party's(it was a book written in the early 90's) could be utilized for magickal purposes(paraphrased).I have a B.A. in Psychology from Marquette University and was going for my Master in Physical Therapy there until 1999 when I stopped. I'm a Nursing student currently.From my mothers side (Yi), I'm a descendent of the older brother of King Sejung(developer of Korean alphabet. The last dynasty of Korea.) and this is my family's Coat of Arm's:
