The way of the souks

About Me

.. width="425" height="350">.. .. ..>The amount of times I change my 'about me' section ironically describes me better than any of my attempts to, using words, come across as cool or witty. Writing is my main love- I consider myself an observer and I find that I can interpret my thoughts and observations through the art of writing the best. My other love is music, so it comes as no surprise that I join the two together by way of Lyricism as an MC/songwriter and vocalist for Bare Knuckle Soul. I am also a music journalist for Blues and Soul magazine and a couple of other publications. I combine my love for all of the above with the only thing that actually earns me any money- TV presenting. I'm currently, and have been for the past 3 years the face of Trouble TV, a satellite station aimed at a young, mainly black demographic. In between then and now i've flirted with stints on MTV and CDUK but haven't quite found my dream gig yet.I was born in Sheffield, have lived in Japan and Australia and currently live in London with my girlfriend where i'm getting involved properly with the underground soul and Hip-Hop scenes, running events, going to events and performing at events! I also love travellingAnyway, you've probably sussed that I love talking about myself so now it's your turn, who are you?
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
