About Me


After some persuasion I finally opened up a MYSPACE account... "what was I waiting for is the question I ask myself now!" Born in Vancouver, BC. Canada of Trinidadian, Italian and Scottish decent... I know what your thinking sounds like 'trouble' and well you were.. right in doing so of course! Now for the good sh*t (in short!) THE MUSIC: I'm currently in the process of laying down some new material both on solo projects as well as collaborations with the sultry vocalist 'Jaidene Veda' and music production works under the title of PARALLEL LIFE with longtime compadre Vernell De Long. In the past I've done collaborations on mixes for the Bombay Records crew as well as solo ventures for Joe Claussell at SpiritualLifeMusic NY. In the late 90's I spent a few years living in the city of Barcelona, Spain.. mostly DJing in clubs and afterhours for members of "La Terraza" familia.. Fellini's, Otto Zuts, La Boite, Flat Cat, Dot 'light club', Cafe del mar and Oh' (in Marbella.)I've spent the last few years being pretty chill so to speak musically, I suppose I could look at it in retrospect as a time for me to regroup. However now that the hiatus is over I'm returning to my studio with an undying vengance!Hope you will enjoy this 'new track' soon to be released featuring Jaidene Veda... check back "there's more on the way."PS: Oh and feel free to post your thoughts.. and or... ummm concerns!!!Peace and Love Thomas
