Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. -- Maya Angelou

About Me

Life is unpredictable. You can have your dream, you can set a goal in life, but there will be so many obstacles on the way. Accept whatever unexpected things come your way and appreciate them for what they are whether it turns out to be good or bad. All experiences would make you stronger and enrich your life. But never compromise what you want in your life! Even if it would crush your heart to have to let go of something or to sacrifice something what you have at the moment, be true to yourself, your heart and your instinct, and never give in and be persistent to make it cuz it's YOUR life. DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF!!! You only realize then what you are truly meant to have in your life... that's when you realize the unpredictable things are all God's will.That's what I believe in and try to live by!!******************************************************** *****I believe I'm real, independent and fun at least people who actually met me or worked with can tell you so! I hope (smile). I love music, well that's the business I'm in so that's obvious. But it's gotta be GOOD MUSIC. And I LOVE MOVIES and even write about them for magazines and websites once a while. You see, I can be a workaholic mixing my pleasure with work, that's low. For the past 9 years, I have contributed interviews, articles and cd reviews for bmr(black music review), Luire, blast, bounce(Tower Records-Japan free paper), Woofin', Custom Lowriding, and many other publications in Japan. I also write about movies on www.blackmusicfan.net (all in Japanese tho...) and feature stories on several websites.As an interpreter and a translator, I've worked with major labels in Japan - BMG JAPAN, Universal, Warner, Sony, Capitol/Virgin/EMI, Avex, and JVC as well as independent labels such as P-Vine, Toy's Factory, BMFN Records to name a few. I'm not going to name the artists I've worked with to avoid any predictable drama tho(smile). And just in case if you're wondering... Aside from 'em real friends of mine, even if you see artists/celebrities/producers/songwriters on my top friends list, it doesn't mean that I know 'em personally. I mainly put up my favorite aritsts at times on there rather than who I've worked with. Sure there may be some of them whom I personally have worked and am close with on there but you'll never figure it out unless THEY want you to!! Sorry guys... and please know that I'm not going to link you up with my artist friends before you waste your and MY time to send me add requests if that's the only reason you want to be my Myspace friend... please show some love and support them tho!(smile)************************************************* ***********What I would like to do the most right now? You guessed it, TAKE A VACATION!There, now you know a lil' bit about me! *********************************************************** Now, use the video chat to connect with your fellow artists/producers and cool peeps around the world!!!! I might jump in once a while, but feel free to chat without me (smile). Click on the screen and just login and have fun, guys!!!!! (oh, by the way, you won't see who's on the chat unless you click and open the chat screen and log in, so just dont leave without checkin in!!) You can either just type in text or use your webcam/headsets to see or hear one another. REMEMBER, NO HATING OR/AND NO BEEF ON HERE! PLEASE KEEP IT NICE AND CLEAN, PEOPLE!!! THIS IS ONE OF MANY WAYS TO SHOW YOU HOW I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD THE BRIDGE BETWEEN CREATIVE PEEPS AROUND THE GLOBE!!!!!!! PLEASE RESPECT THAT!! - If I see anybody who do not respect my wishes, I will block you and report to myspace. I'm not kidding!!!

Get Your Own Voice Player Manage-PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY- Okay, I'm getting "add request" with no introductions, no nothing about yourself on your prifile, or with kinky messages.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY REQUEST IF YOU HAVE YOUR PROFILE SET TO PRIVATE UNLESS YOU SEND ME A MESSAGE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

(Did I make myself clear enough?? ;-) ) Also, I'm an urban music (R&B, soul, and gospel; and a little bit of Hip Hop) journalist, I DO NOT have any connection nor any sort of knowledge you seem to be expecting from me in any other type of music. Don't get me wrong, I'm not shotting other type of music out. Even if your music may be good in your category if I'm not feeling it, sorry I can't accept your request but don't take it personally. I'll only accept if I'M FEELING YOUR MUSIC(any type of music for that matter). I hope you all understand that I need to draw the line somewhere. I'm here for keeping in touch with good friends, old and new, and networking in a specific area - urban music. AND I'M NOT HERE TO LOOK FOR A MAN. I would however still like to meet new people, doesn't matter whether be in the business or not. They just have to be HUMBLE, LOVING, REAL & COOL peeps and would like to talk about music and life in general as good friends in real life would do!!!! If it's you, holla! Thank you for your understanding! ************************************************************ AGAIN!!! I have my status "SINGLE" but I'M NOT SAYING I'M LOOKING FOR A MAN ON MYSPACE!!!!!!
