About Me

a lot of my friends say i'm an old soul. i can truly say that i've seen the impossible happen in my life and at the same time be a witness to the deepest sorrows one can only dread to face. but each day is a step forward in a path that twists and turns and sometimes returns you to the same place you may perhaps believe you once already stood - only to find that you've already grown in so many different ways. music is a big part of my life. whether creating it, listening to it, or dancing to it by myself or with others. so all of y'all grab a drum, your turntables, flute, or whatever and meet me at my place!
