"Dont walk around trying to be what Im not, dont waste my time trying to get what you got"
I have a passion for music. I do music not to make money or to get signed but just because it makes me feel good and thats all I know right now. I just like doing what I do. I love my guitar I love a snare and a bass, I love the wawa pedal on an electric guitar, I love when my cousin goes bananas like Ray on the keyboard I love putting music deep in my ears and drowning my thoughts. I love high notes and deep lyrics. Somber moods and blues riffs. I love pianos shit I love pianos , I love E minors followed by Aminors, I love old skool beat with new skool lyrics, I love an emcee who's lyrics can test Plato, I love the mic , dim lights and the stage, I love djembes,congos, tom toms . I love hearing my father play guitar and sing the blues.I love the upright bass. I love a dope bass line followed by rimshots. I love songs motivated by love, hurt, awakenings, struggles, freedom, Africa. I love coffee shops revolutionary words awaking reactionary crowds. I love the choir. I love my grandmothers "oh laaaawd". I love hip movements to club beats or to the drums of a voodoo priest. I love Mama Thortons voice, Nina's consciousness, Sades elegance , Lauryn Lyrical Genius, Fela's freedom ,Miles horn, Erykah's truth, Arethas Soul , Marleys Message , I love my shit too ! ; )
