About Me

Now 26 and learning more everyday. My path with music has been amazing and taken me to many great places. I found out that I keep falling in love with music time after time. I moved out here to Denver about three years ago and have been working really hard to make some impression on the music scene. So far so good. I was able to open up for Common (someone i have been listening to since I have graduated high school) and it was a dream come true. I have been playing shows all around and starting to make a fair name for myself and have three songs on 93.3 KTCL local hour that they put in rotation every now and then (thanks Alf). Currently, I am playing many shows and have been exposed to great styles of music. I have also been able to connect with a lot of different local artist, some of which I have of my friends list so you should check them out. All in all I really love Denver, but am waiting to do the Nomad thing all over again (Europe...here I come). Keep the music alive. Peace! ..
