I Don't Have The Face For Tentacles.

About Me

"Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control. Freedom is about what you can unleash."
- Harriet Rubin

I'm a rough n' tumble kinda kid - chock full of guts, transplanted from NY to LA. Always looking for fun. Dedicated to creating & communicating - words, art, music. Truth-bringer, word-slinger - I tell it like it is. I am open and curious, inquisitive and inviting. I crave adventure and love to explore this world and all of its wonders. Honest, Loyal, Respectful. Courageous, Loving, Worthy. I have a dream, a drive, a vision...to create music and share it with the world; Music that inspires, empowers, and connects people. Music that bedazzles the mind, bedoozles the booty and sends the heart into a tizzy.
