" " WANNA BE A REVOLUTIONARY? BE AN ARTIST.

I'm a networker always working behind the scenes from the underground. I strive to inspire others to reach that musical/artistic epitome of being in the "moment"..where nothing matters and your intuition and passion carry the music to a new level.....where your worries disappear, while it sparks that high that no drug can reach..where artists inspire artists to challenge each other to reach a higher level that brings out the best in them...........
